Erling Haaland remained on the bench for Manchester City's Carabao Cup defeat at Tottenham.
Manchester City travelled to Tottenham with just 14 senior outfield options and left with three fewer. But Erling Haaland remained wrapped up on the bench for the Carabao Cup defeat. Haaland earned a rest in the cup and did not warm up once as City needed a goal to send the tie to penalties. Matheus Nunes had pulled a goal back after Timo Werner and Pape Sarr had put Tottenham in control, before City tried in vain to rescue their Carabao Cup hopes.
