Video: Bristol City 2 – 1 Manchester United [EFL Cup] Highlights 2017/18

EFL Cup holders Manchester United have been knocked out of the competition by Championship side Bristol City after a late Korey Smith goal.
Korey Smith’s stoppage-time winner stunned EFL Cup holders Manchester United, as Championship side Bristol City beat Jose Mourinho’s men 2-1 at Ashton Gate to secure a semi-final berth.

United’s team certainly was not lacking in star quality, with Paul Pogba – returning from suspension – starting alongside the likes of Marcus Rashford, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial, but City produced a marvellous performance and Smith’s last-gasp winner sparked scenes of jubilation and a pitch invasion.

Ibrahimovic and Rashford both hit the post in the first half, but United were by no means in control and City opened the scoring as Joe Bryan netted emphatically just after the break.

An equaliser came shortly after, though, with Ibrahimovic – making his first start of the season – scoring a free-kick, eight months on from his last goal after a long injury layoff.

And although United continued to create chances, with Romelu Lukaku going close a couple of times, City also remained a potent force in attack.
