Manchester City cruised past Southampton 3-1 in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.
The Saints, who suffered an historic 9-0 loss to Leicester in the Premier League last week, managed to keep the score down this time but failed to ever threaten the defending champions at the Emirates.
Defender Nicolas Otamendi got the hosts off and running after 20 minutes when he jumped over his marker to head home Bernardo Silva's cross following a corner kick.
Sergio Aguero doubled the lead in the 38th with a comfortable volley to cap off a swift City move from left to right -- the Argentina international sweeping home a drilled-in cross from Kyle Walker.
