Carabao Cup 2017/18: West Bromwich Albion 1-2 Manchester City: 5 Talking Points

#4 Ben Foster underlines his importance

West Bromwich Albion v Manchester City - Carabao Cup Third Round

The English keeper has been an important cog in Pulis’s team since his arrival, and on Wednesday night, he once again showed his class.

A string of saves was the primary reason why City were only able to put two past the WBA defence.

He was well helped-out by his teammates, who restricted this Manchester City side to only 58% possession, while restricting them to only 6 shots on target.

Most of the shots on target were well-taken shots which seemed destined for the goal, only for Foster to pull off some outrageous saves.

The keeper kept the Baggies in the game and when Claudio Yacob grabbed the equalizer 18 minutes from time, one genuinely felt that there was an upset on the cards.

But, that was as good as it got for the Baggies.
