Manchester City cruised into the Carabao Cup semi-finals with a relatively routine 4-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Manchester City came flying out of the blocks and took the lead in the third minute, when Oleksandr Zinchenko s cross into the box found Gabriel Jesus, who nipped in ahead of Alex Runarsson to head home.
City continued to dominate until the half-hour mark when Arsenal equalised against the run of play. Gabriel Martinelli found himself on the left wing and swung in a wonderful cross, from which Alexandre Lacazette headed into the top corner.
Twitter Reacts to Runar Alex Runarsson s Calamitous Performance Against Manchester City

Eyebrows were raised when Arsenal spent £1.5m on Icelandic stopper Runar Alex Runarsson in the summer.
Judging by his performance against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, these doubters were right to scoff at the former Dijon man s arrival.
He made not one, but two glaring errors during his side s 4-1 defeat and the Twitter-sphere was not particularly impressed.
Honestly, though, you cannot even blame Rúnarsson beyond a point. The stats were there for all to see. The club knew what they were getting and still went ahead with it. LTArsenal™ (@ltarsenal) December 22, 2020

Pep Guardiola has again played down the prospect of signing a striker despite City s struggles in front goal, and effectively ruled out any transfer business in January.
The Blues have struggled to find their usual attacking ruthlessness this season and often had to do without Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, with the pair both struggling for fitness.
As a result, they ve managed just 19 goals from their opening 13 Premier League games, compared to 37 at the same point last season.
