Manchester City’s rampant season gathered yet more momentum on Tuesday
Dec 19,2017 as the Premier League leader fashioned a dramatic win in a penalty
shootout at Leicester City after a 1-1 draw to reach the League Cup SF's
Pep Guardiola’s City, even with a second-string team, looked to have booked its last-four place with a first-half Bernardo Silva goal until Leicester was awarded a soft-looking penalty seven minutes into stoppage time which Jamie Vardy converted.
After extra time produced no further goals, City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, its hero with two saves in a penalty shootout win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the previous round, again delivered, saving Riyad Mahrez’s final penalty in the 4-3 shootout win.
