They had to come from behind to do it, but Man City are through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup thanks to goals from Doku, Marmoush and Cherki.

A valiant effort from Swansea but the Premier League side’s quality shone through in the end.

Cherki slots low into the bottom corner to make it 3-1 and send Pep Guardiola’s side through!

6 minutes left to play.

Fisher claims Gonzalez’ long-range effort.

Samuels-Smith comes off for Cullen.

They’ve been on top for the entire second half and now the Premier League side have their second!

It’s a brilliant finish from Marmoush, who gets in down the right-hand side and smashes the ball into the roof of the net to give Fisher no chance.

Gvardiol has a go from the edge of the area but it’s well saved by Fisher.

It’s been all Man City in this second period. Swansea have barely gotten out of their own half but have so far proved resolute at the back.

Two more changes for Swansea. Fulton comes on for goalscorer Franco, while Benson replaces Widell.

Gonzalez drives forward from deep and has room to shoot but smashes it well over.

Pep Guardiola makes a triple sub, bringing off Mukasa, Ait-Nouri and Khusanov for Foden, Stones and Gvardiol.

Doku tees up Ait-Nouri inside the area but he leans back and shoots well over the bar.

City dominating possession in the final third but are struggling to create chances.

Vipotnik replaces Idah and Inoussa comes comes off for Ronald.

Doku causes problems again down the left before picking out Mukasa but the youngster gets it all wrong and pokes a shot miles wide.

Marmoush has a go from 25 yards out but it flies well wide of the goal.

A big interception from Casey to prevent Cherki going one on one with the goalkeeper.

Not the first time he’s been there to save Swansea this evening.

Man City get the second half started.

The players are back out on the pitch with the second half set to kick off shortly.

And that’s half time!

Doku’s equaliser has Man City level following Franco’s superb opener.

Marmoush works some space for himself and then sees a powerful strike cleared off the line by Casey!

The Premier League side are on top now.

The Premier League side are level!

Jeremy Doku picks up the ball on the left, cuts inside and fires an effort at goal which takes a big deflection to beat Fisher.

So, so close to a City equaliser as Cherki’s pokes an effort towards goal, which bounces back off the post.

What a chance for Swansea to make it 2-0.

Widell intercepts the ball just outside the City area after a terrible pass from Khusanov but Trafford gets a fingertip to his low effort and tips it round the post for a corner.
