Swansea 1-3 Man City result - Jeremy Doku, Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki goals complete Carabao Cup comeback for Pep Guardiola's side

Eight-time Carabao Cup winners Manchester City are through to the quarter-finals at the expense of Swansea courtesy of goals from Jeremy Doku, Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki.

Goncalo Franco soared Swansea to dreamland early doors as the Portuguese midfielder netted a blockbuster 25-yard curler just 12 minutes in. But the hosts, despite initially defending robustly, were eventually carved open by a clinical City.

Doku equalised before half-time and swung the momentum well and truly in Man City's favour, deflecting his strike off the outstretched leg of defender Cameron Burgess.

The visitors were then simply too hot to handle after the interval as they piled on the pressure and Marmoush found a breakthrough, hammering into the roof of the net to give Pep Guardiola's side the lead.

Cherki, City's danger man throughout, then put the result beyond doubt in stoppage time as he slotted the ball into the bottom right corner from a low Josko Gvardiol cross.

A win at the Swansea.com Stadium was no less than Man City deserved as Guardiola's side proved they can indeed succeed without the goalscoring prowess of Erling Haaland.

There were a few concerns Man City couldn't succeed without top scorer and star man Erling Haaland scoring following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa, but Pep Guardiola's men proved the doubters wrong tonight.

Yes, Swansea are in the division below, but there was still a job to do to come from behind. Tonight's scorers Doku, Marmoush and Cherki will be keen to kick on from here.

Jarred Gillett blows the full-time whistle and Man City are through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup!

Goals from Jeremy Doku, Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki turned the game on its head after Goncalo Franco's wonderful opener.

That's that! Cherki finally gets his goal as he chops inside and places the ball into the bottom right-hand corner. Gvardiol notches the assist, but it looked as if the pass was intended for Marmoush instead.

Cherki certainly won't care as he deserves to get on the scoresheet after dazzling as Man City's star player all night long. Game over.

Could Swansea score an unlikely and dramatic equaliser? Well, they've got SIX minutes.That's breathed some life back into the Swansea.com Stadium.

That's shot number 20 and the sixth on target for Man City as Nico Gonzalez strikes well from range but Fisher is equal to it.

As much as Swansea started the game with a bang and purpose, Man City have absolutely dominated this encounter.

The visitors have maintained 78% possession and registered 19 shots, five of which have been on target.

Franco's goal was - and remains - Swansea's only shot of the night.

Sheehan is indeed going for it as he makes his last Swansea change. Liam Cullen comes on for Ishe Samuels-Smith.

Can the fresh legs make the difference?

Man City have their breakthrough and it's an emphatic finish from Marmoush!

Cherki passes through the eye of the needle and Marmoush takes the ball into his path, controlling before firing with astounding power into the roof of the net.

Swansea have no choice but to go for it now.

That was a close shave for Fisher! Lewis has a half chance in the six-yard box as Fisher drops Gvardiol's long shot, but the goalkeeper just about collects in time.

That was nearly a jinx from me there. Sorry, Fisher!

Swansea's cup goalkeeper Andy Fisher is having a great night so far. He'll be disappointed to have conceded but he couldn't do a great deal about Doku's deflected strike.

Otherwise, he's not put a foot, or rather a glove, wrong.

Goncalo Franco heads off to a standing ovation from the Swans support and is replaced by the experienced Jay Fulton.

Melker Widell is also off, for Manuel Benson.

Swansea haven't left their own defensive third for quite some time now. That's no real surprise considering Man City are the heavy favourites, but this is proper backs to the wall stuff.

That poor shot is Ait-Nouri's last involvement as he's off for Josko Gvardiol.

Meanwhile, Phil Foden and John Stones are on in place of youngster Divine Mukasa and defender Abdukodir Khusanov.

Ait-Nouri is the latest Cityzen to have a pop but the left-back leans back and fires well over the bar. Some say that's still rising.

We have the first two changes of the night!

Zan Vitopnik and Ronald are on for Adam Idah and Zeidane Inoussa as Alan Sheehan rolls the dice.

Swansea goalscorer Franco is receiving treatment after taking the full force of Cherki's elbow as he tried to dribble away. Franco should be fine to continue, but it was a nasty blow to the face.

The hosts are fully focused as they seek to keep this fluid Man City side at bay.

Swansea aren't able to venture out often, so it's crucial they jockey and frustrate the visitors where possible. They're doing just that as I type.

This is going to be a tough half for Swansea if the last few minutes are anything to go by. It's all Man City at the moment, though the most recent shot - from Marmoush - was well wide of the target.
