Manchester City overcame a Carabao Cup scare to book their quarter-final place with a 3-1 win at Swansea.

Goncalo Franco had fired the Championship outfit ahead with the game’s first goal attempt after 12 minutes but City equalised before half-time as Jeremy Doku’s effort took a wicked deflection.
