| Gael Clichy celebrating with his City teammates after opening the scoring at the Liberty Stadium in Wales |
Pep Guardiola is really showing his masterclass as his lame line-up for the night game him yet another victory. Thanks to second-half goals from Gael Clichy and Aleix Garcia as City opened their EFL Cup campaign with a 2-1 win at Swansea City on Wednesday.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach has to wait until the second half before he could celebrate what has been the best of a season in his entire career as a coach – winning all the games played till now.
City traveling to the Liberty Stadium in Wales came out in the second half with the same intent and eventually broke the deadlock through left back Clichy, who stood unmarked on the edge of the area to lash home with the help of a deflection.
However, Garcia then doubled City’s lead and made the result safe when he turned in Jesus Navas’ cross, rendering Gylfi Sigurdsson’s 93rd minute strike a mere consolation.
Although, there’s a lot to fear about as skipper Vincent Kompany limped off to the closing of the game as the manager and his team face yet another test in the Champions League second leg next week.
