Tottenham defeated Manchester City 2-1 on Wednesday in London to reach the quarter-finals of the English League Cup.

SAVINHO LEAVES INJURED
One of City’s main attacking options in the match, who crossed for Matheus Nunes’ goal, Brazilian Savinho left the field in the 17th minute of the second half on a stretcher, feeling a lot of pain in his right foot. Next Friday, coach Dorival Júnior will call up the national team for the qualifiers against Venezuela and Uruguay in November. Another Brazilian on the field was striker Richarlison, who came on in the second half for Tottenham and had a quiet performance. He had a good chance to score, but was stopped by goalkeeper Ortega in the 37th minute.
