With Phil Foden and Enzo Fernandez finding the back of the net for City, and Rayan Cherki putting Manchester City ahead after Kovacic and Yasin Ayari missed their penalties, Lewis Dunk's miss in the decisive spot kick sealed the deal, granting Manchester City their spot in the quarterfinals.
Liverpool will now host Bournemouth in their quarterfinal match, while Manchester City will face Brighton. Crystal Palace will take on Sunderland, and Fleetwood will play either Everton or Newcastle United in the quarterfinals.
