After Jérémy Doku’s second-half substitute appearance transformed Manchester City into a high-octane proposition, the smart money was on the momentum continuing into a victorious penalty shootout.
So it proved as Enzo Maresca’s men triumphed 4-3, Gerónimo Rulli the hero: his save from Lewis Dunk’s fifth spot-kick was decisive, the Argentinean also having repelled Yasin Ayari’s fourth effort.
