Manchester City suffered a shock League Cup exit as struggling Southampton swept to a 2-0 victory in Wednesday's quarter-finals.
Manchester City’s Dutch defender Nathan Ake vies with Southampton’s English midfielder Che Adams during the English League Cup quarter-final football match between Southampton and Manchester City at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton, southern England on January 11, 2023.
City sit second in the Premier League, while Southampton are 26 points below them at the bottom of the table. City’s surprise exit continued a worrying trend of lacklustre performances this season in games Guardiola would expect them to win, a failing that has left the champions trailing five points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League.
Phillips was labelled overweight by Guardiola after he returned from England duty at the World Cup and the midfielder hardly made the Spaniard eat his words with a largely anonymous display that ended with his substitution after 63 minutes. Tired of City’s lethargy, Guardiola sent on Kevin De Bruyne at the interval and Erling Haaland after 56 minutes.
