Swansea 1 Manchester City 2: Gael Clichy gets rare goal as captain Vincent Kompany makes long-awaited return for City
City continued their phenomenal start to the season under new boss Pep Guardiola with dominant EFL Cup win
MANCHESTER CITY continued their fantastic start to the season with a convincing 2-1 EFL Cup third round win at Swansea City, but the night was not all positives – on his return from injury captain Vincent Kompany limped off AGAIN.
Left-back Gael Clichy fired City in front in the 49th minute before Aleix Garcia Serrano added a second midway through the second half.
Clichy's effort cannoned off Swansea defender Neil Taylor to put City ahead.
Vincent Kompany made his first start to the season, after undergoing groin and thigh surgery in the summer – walked straight off the pitch and down the tunnel after stretching in a bid to prevent Gylfi Sigurdsson’s last-gasp goal.
Tonight was his first game since undergoing a thigh and groin operation in May and the 34th injury of his eight-year City career.
