Carabao Cup: Manchester City – Manchester United: Records and Anti-Records

Manchester City beat League One side Oxford United in the Carabao Cup Round three (3-0). Phil Foden was compared to Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta after his goal in Manchester City’s Carabao Cup win over Oxford United-with Boss Pep Guardiola saying he can be an “amazing” player of the club over the next decade. Manchester City have failed to score in four of their 17 domestic cup matches (League Cup and FA Cup) under Pep Guardiola – but three of the teams to stop them scoring have been from outside the top-flight (Huddersfield Town, Wolves and Wigan Athletic). The holders of the League Cup haven’t lost a tie against third-tier opposition since October 1997, when Leicester City were beaten 3-1 by Grimsby Town. Gabriel Jesus has scored in each of his last three starts away from home for Manchester City in all competitions (3 goals in total). Phil Foden (18 years, 120 days) is the first player born since the turn of the millennium to score a competitive goal for Manchester City in any competition. Manchester United left stunned as Derby County send Manchester United crashing out of Carabao Cup on penalties. (2-2)-(8-7) In the Premier League era, three of the four teams to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in the League Cup have been from outside the top-flight – York City in September 1995, Coventry City in September 2007 and Crystal Palace in November 2011. Juan Mata has scored his first Manchester United goal since netting twice at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League back in December 2017, 276 days ago. Harry Wilson is the first player to score a direct free-kick against Manchester United in the League Cup at Old Trafford since Giles Barnes back in January 2009, also for Derby County. Sergio Romero is the first Manchester United player to receive a straight red card at Old Trafford in any competition since Eric Bailly did so back in May 2017 against Celta Vigo in the Europa League. Manchester United have lost each of their last five penalty shoot-outs in all competitions (3x League Cup, 1x FA Cup, 1x Community Shield).
