Rayan Cherki showed his class to inspire Manchester City to a come-from-behind 3-1 win at Swansea as Pep Guardiola's side booked their place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The French playmaker was City's top performer in an underwhelming display overall against the Championship side, who took the lead with a spectacular goal from Goncalo Franco.
Cherki hit the post as City finally woke up and Jeremy Doku found an equaliser before the break with the help of a huge deflection off Swansea's Cameron Burgess. Pep Guardiola was ruthless with his substitutions, pulling off the ragged pair of Rayan Ait-Nouri and Abdukodir Khusanov plus the inexperienced Divine Mukasa. Phil Foden, John Stones and Josko Gvardiol came on and City's class finally shone through.
Omar Marmoush thumped home after a clever pass from Cherki to give City the lead in the 77th minute and the French maverick made sure by scoring in added time although there was some concern as he appeared to hurt a muscle in the process.
