For Pep Guardiola, who was aiming to become the first manager to win the League Cup five times and move ahead of Sir Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough, it was a night to forget as Kalvin Phillips made his first start for a City side that never really looked like finding a way back into this game after falling behind.
But while Guardiola’s first-half experiment with Kyle Walker as one of City’s two central defenders backfired, even the introduction of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland off the bench in the second half failed to lift the visitors. City have won this competition five of the last seven seasons and saw off Liverpool in the last round but found Southampton’s defence impossible to break down despite dominating possession as usual.
