No penalty practice? No problem for Man City in shoot-out win
MANCHESTER, (United Kingdom):
Manchester City secured a League Cup fourth-round win against Brighton & Hove Albion in a shoot-out on Wednesday without practicing penalties this season. Goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli made two crucial saves as the League Cup holders triumphed 4-3 after a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium. City opted not to practice penalties with their players since arriving under new manager Enzo Maresca.
However, Rulli's penalty saves proved vital as City came from behind twice to clinch the victory. Mateo Kovacic missed a penalty for City, while Phil Foden, Enzo Fernandez, Jeremy Doku, and Rayan Cherki all scored. Maresca expressed satisfaction with his team's performance and praised Rulli's composed display.
