Man City Find Out Carabao Cup Quarter-Final Opponents After Brighton Win What should Man City achieve this season? More Videos It was Enzo Maresca's side who ultimately came out on top after a dramatic 90 minutes of action at the Etihad Stadium, with the two sides playing out an enthralling 2-2 draw culminating in a penalty shoot-out win for the hosts. Malick Yalcouye would put Brighton & Hove Albion into the lead on the stroke of the half-hour, before Mateo Kovacic would strike from outside of the penalty area to take Manchester City into the half-time interval level. Within minutes of the second-half restart, Georginio Rutter would put the Seagulls back ahead and should have arguably scored more than once in the second portion of 45 minutes against Fabian Hurzeler's men. With less than 20 minutes remaining, a Rayan Cherki free-kick would take a nick off of the heel of Vitor Reis, in what was the Brazilian's first goal for Manchester City and a strike that would ultimately take the game to a shootout. Geronimo Rulli would then prove to be the hero for the hosts, as the Etihad Stadium's summer recruit as new back-up goalkeeper would deny Brighton twice from the spot to send the club into the last-eight of the League Cup as their defence of the trophy continues.
