Raheem Sterling's Brace Leads Manchester City Past Oxford United in Carabao Cup

Manchester City are in the semi-finals of the 2019 Carabao Cup after beating Oxford United 3-1 thanks to a Raheem Sterling brace in the last eight on Wednesday night.

The holders went in front via Joao Cancelo's deflected first-half effort at the Kassam Stadium, but Matty Taylor equalised for the League One side seconds after the restart, before Sterling converted twice in close in.

City's win means the holders still have the chance to lift this trophy for a third season running and fourth time in five seasons.

City host second-place Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday, while Oxford are at home to Wycombe Wanderers on the same day.
