No penalty practice? No problem for Man City in shoot-out win
Manchester City secured a 4-3 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup fourth round shoot-out on Wednesday, despite not practicing penalties throughout the season. Manchester City goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli made two crucial saves, allowing five successful penalties for his team, including goals from Phil Foden, Enzo Fernandez, Jeremy Doku, and Rayan Cherki.
Brighton's Yasin Ayari and Lewis Dunk missed their penalty attempts. City, who had lost their first Premier League match of the season to Aston Villa, bounced back with a strong performance against Brighton. Manager Enzo Maresca expressed satisfaction with his team's preparation and rotation strategy, praising goalkeeper Rulli's composed display. Manchester City will now face third-tier Bradford City in the next round.
