Leicester 1-1 Manchester City: Report, Ratings & Reaction as City Triumph on Penalties to Advance

Manchester City advanced to the EFL Cup semi finals with a penalty shoot-out win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, following a 1-1 result in normal time.

On his return to the starting lineup, it was Kevin De Bruyne's wondrous first half score that separated the sides for much of the night. However, shortly after the Belgian's departure from the pitch, the Foxes capitalised with an equally emphatic finish from Marc Albrighton.

Penalties were duly required, and, amidst a torrent of tame to blazed efforts, in the end Arijanet Muric's 6ft5' frame told, with two saves to send the Citizens through with a 3-1 victory.
