Holders Manchester City eased into the fourth round of the Capital One Cup with a comfortable 2-0 victory.

A first half penalty from the experienced Gareth Barry gave City a 1-0 lead, and then a stunning run and strike by 17 year old Italian left winger Marco Cucchi gave City the win. Cucchi made an impressive debut for City and has left fans wanting to see more from the promising winger.
