He saved spot kicks from [Ruben Neves](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ruben-neves-EPq8p3htT12DEefc/) and Joe Hodge as Nottingham Forest secured a semi-final place. Nathan Jones’ struggling side were also brilliant defensively, not conceding a single shot on target to the [Premier League](https://theathletic.com/football/premier-league/) champions. [Antony](https://theathletic.com/football/player/antony-wnm4X5Bgf4PfC0PP/) opened the scoring halfway through the first half when he cut in from the right-hand side and bent an effort beyond [Ashley Maynard-Brewer](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ashley-maynard-brewer-DQvDPKHjC77xeKlC/) and into the corner of the net. [Jamie Vardy](https://theathletic.com/football/player/jamie-vardy-g0VlEJLKbKMFIJfm/) — who was introduced from the bench — missed a golden opportunity to halve the deficit with quarter of an hour to go and Newcastle held on rather comfortably to make it into a first semi-final (of any competition) since 2005. [Marcus Rashford](https://theathletic.com/football/player/marcus-rashford-xgQlXcNj79jwXiD4/) continued his fine run of form by putting an end to the tie in the 90th, and then 94th, minute to send Manchester United safely into the semi-final. The two first legs will be played on the week commencing January 23. There is just a week to wait for the second legs of both ties.

Southampton v Manchester City: Carabao Cup quarter-final – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Who will book their place in the League Cup's last four? Join Scott Murray.

Haaland gets in ahead of everyone and attempts to flick the ball on into the right-hand side of the net from six yards. Then a pause and a chance for Saints to catch their breath as Perraud accidentally catches Alvarez in the face. 71 min: A City goal will change everything, and with this in mind, De Bruyne works his way down the right. 87 min: De Bruyne embarks on what looks like a dangerous run down the right, but then cuts a ball back to nobody in particular. And no wonder: a corner for Saints down the right. The ball comes in from the right. 88 min: Rodri floats a diagonal ball into the Saints box from the left. Walker-Peters then dribbles down the right and draws a foul from Alvarez. Sometimes you have to take a little of the proverbial, and I’ve had to do that, but I’m clear, I’m strong. but first we need a performance, because if you don’t get that, you don’t get the result. Saints were magnificent, and deserved their reward of a place in the last four. It was a bit like the old Southampton tonight, bold and aggressive and on the front foot.

City stunned by PL battlers in major Cup shock; Forest star the saviour in epic penalty shootout.

Southampton were joined in the semi-finals by Nottingham Forest, who beat Wolves 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the City Ground. City failed to heed the warning and Mara put Southampton ahead in the 23rd minute. Phillips was labelled overweight by Guardiola after he returned from England duty at the World Cup and the midfielder hardly made the Spaniard eat his words with a largely anonymous display that ended with his substitution after 63 minutes. Guardiola, who has won the League Cup four times since arriving at City in 2016, will demand an immediate response in Saturday’s crucial Premier League derby against Manchester United. For the first time in 16 domestic cup quarter-finals, Guardiola had finished as a loser and he could have no complaints about the result. But that huge gap wasn’t evident on a wet and windy night on the south coast that Guardiola will want to forget in a hurry.

His double against Charlton means he has now scored in eight successive games at Old Trafford, too, and become the first player to achieve the feat since Wayne Rooney more than a decade ago. After a run of 15 wins in 18 games since a 6-3 defeat at the Etihad, Ten Hag is proving his old colleague right. Success at Wembley would also strengthen Ten Hag's hand and serve as a reminder of the progress he's made since taking charge of United last summer. There was a tiredness about Leicester at St James's Park that suggests this was a side that had run its course and in need of a refresh. He turns 36 this week and Patson Daka's performance in the first 64 minutes suggests they are still in search of his replacement. His win rate is an impressive 74 per cent after 27 matches - better than Guardiola's after the same number of games with City - and that's despite Ten Hag losing his opening two fixtures in August. It's a date Manchester United supporters will have marked in the diary as their side's resurgence under Erik ten Hag continues to gather pace. Unexpectedly, United have dragged themselves into the Premier League title race in recent weeks and remain alive in three cup competitions. A club of their size should be boasting significantly more cup heritage than stands in the history books. He said of his goal: "Sitting in the East Stand I've always thought about scoring that goal in front of the Gallowgate End - my family are up in that corner too, so it was absolutely amazing. It is another stepping stone after their victory at Crystal Palace in the FA Cup at the weekend. The empty seats at St Mary's told a story of their own at kick-off.
