Pep Guardiola happy with Manchester City’s display despite rare Carabao Cup loss

Pep Guardiola could not find fault with Manchester City’s performance despite tasting defeat in the Carabao Cup for the first time in five years. Holders City, who had won this competition the previous four seasons, finally lost their grip on the trophy as they were beaten 5-3 on penalties by West Ham following a goalless draw at the London Stadium. Phil Foden’s missed penalty proved decisive, with Said Benrahma converting the last of West Ham’s five successful spot-kicks.
