Man City beat Fulham to reach quarter-finals

Spanish teenager Brahim Diaz scored his first senior goals for Manchester City as the holders eased past Fulham to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

Diaz, 19, put a much-changed City side ahead when his shot deflected in off Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Spain Under-21 international added the second after half-time, guiding in after Gabriel Jesus hit the post.

Pep Guardiola's side will play at either Leicester City or Southampton in the last eight in December.

The fourth-round tie at King Power Stadium has been rearranged for Tuesday, 27 November after it was postponed following Saturday's helicopter crash which killed Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four others.
