Champions Manchester City crashed out of the League Cup after suffering a shock 2-0 defeat at struggling Southampton in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.

Mara scored his first goal for Southampton in the 23rd minute as he connected well with a whipped cross by Lyanco and the hosts doubled the lead five minutes later when Djenepo spotted City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega off of his line and curled a stunning effort into the top corner.
City, who have won the League Cup six times since 2014, failed to register a shot on target as the second-half introduction of substitutes Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland failed to spark a revival for Pep Guardiola’s side.
