City, Spurs reach League Cup last 8

Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko scored in extra time to send Manchester City into the League Cup quarterfinals with a 2-0 win at Newcastle United on Wednesday, while Tottenham Hotspur needed a penalty shootout against Hull City to earn a place in the last eight.

Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then raised its game in extra time. In the other fourth-round match, Tottenham and Hull were level at 2-2 after extra time. Hull player Ahmed Elmohamady, who gave away the penalty converted by Roberto Soldado at White Hart Lane in Hull’s 0-1 defeat to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday, missed the decisive spot-kick as Spurs won 8-7. City will next face Leicester City while Tottenham will host West Ham United in a London derby. Stoke City faces Manchester United and Chelsea will play the winner of Sunderland vs Southampton in the other quarterfinal.
