Manchester City Advances to Carabao Cup Fourth Round with 2-0 Huddersfield Victory

Manchester City secured a 2-0 victory over Huddersfield Town in the Carabao Cup third round to advance to the fourth round, with goals from Phil Foden and Savinho. Foden, playing as a deep-lying centre forward, opened the scoring with a precise finish after a one-two with debutant Divine Mukasa, who made his senior debut. Despite Huddersfield's strong defensive efforts and high energy pressing, City dominated possession, controlling over 80% of the ball and creating most opportunities. Savinho added the second goal late in the match, capitalizing on a loose ball that he struck off the crossbar and in. Pep Guardiola's side featured nine changes from their Premier League draw against Arsenal, conserving energy for upcoming fixtures, and showcased Foden's masterclass performance before his substitution at halftime. Huddersfield, managed by Lee Grant, displayed resilience and had moments of threat, including a late shot that hit the post, but ultimately could not overcome the Premier League champions' superiority.
