Man City out of the League Cup after 1-0 loss at Newcastle. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea advance
Manchester City seems to win every competition it enters these days except the English League Cup
NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Manchester City seems to win every competition it enters these days except the English League Cup.
Newcastle beat Man City 1-0 on Wednesday in the third round of the League Cup which also eluded Pep Guardiola’s team during its storied treble last season. Guardiola’s agitation at his team's first defeat of the season showed by getting a yellow card in the closing minutes for dissent to the match officials.
Leaving star starters Erling Haaland, Kyle Walker and Phil Foden on the bench, Man City still dominated the first half without making its possession count with a goal.
Alexander Isak struck in the 53rd for Newcastle which also made sweeping lineup changes to rest key players for another midweek fixture sandwiched between two Champions League challenges.
