Manchester City suffered a shock 2-0 loss at the hands of resilient Southampton in the EFL Cup quarterfinals.

Pep Guardiola's men's rusty performance against the hosts dumped them out of the tournament. 2 goals in the first half by Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo were enough for the Saints who are sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table to enter the semifinals. 

On the other hand, Nottingham Forest too made it to the semifinals of the tournament for the first time in 31 years. Forest defeated Wolverhampton 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
