Manchester City booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup after beating Liverpool in an entertaining match!
Erling Haaland got on the end of Kevin De Bruyne’s cross to convert it in the 10th minute and score the goal.
The lead was short-lived though as Fabio Carvalho converted after 10 minutes to raise his side level, firing home after an excellent pass.
Just seconds into the second half, Riyad Mahrez put his team ahead, but the lead lasted only minutes, with Mohamed Salah equalizing again.
But now Nathan Ake put his team ahead for the third time in the match, and it turned out to be the winner and the goal that brought them through.

Santa arrives early in Manchester
In Germany, Santa Claus does not come down the chimney, but is a corner-type figure who arrives on Christmas Eve to give people presents.
Liverpool must have mixed up their schedule as they continued to gift their opponents, week in, week out.
It costs them points and more importantly, a win.
This is not an overnight problem and has been apparent all season, but time to address this problem is slowly running out.

You don’t become a manager with Guardiola’s record without even analyzing your wins as well as your defeats.
While the result would please him, it would be alarming how often Liverpool have faced them in what was a one-sided match.
The amount of missed chances will worry him too, Brentford showed what happens if you take your chances against Man City.
There is still plenty of work for the Spaniard to do, if he is to have any aspirations of catching his protégé at the top of the Premier League table.
Belgian treats for Christmas time
Kevin De Bruyne delivered the kind of performance that would make any football fan sit up and watch in amazement.
The quality of his death delivery was below world class this evening.
If anything, a person’s quality often lets them down at the end of a pass.
People wondered if he, like the rest of his international team mates, was a spent force now.
What a way to answer your critics in 90 minutes of football.

Liverpool have to come to City so there should be plenty of space for the striker to take advantage of.
