An injury to Kevin de Bruyne took the shine off a convincing 2-0 win for Manchester City as the Carabao Cup holders eased past Fulham to advance to the quarter‑finals.

Spanish teenager Brahim Diaz scored in each half to set up a last‑eight meeting with Leicester or Southampton with his first senior goals for City.

But there was concern before the end for De Bruyne, who limped off three minutes from time.

The 27‑year‑old Belgian midfielder was making only his second start of the season after suffering a ligament injury to his right knee in August.

City will find out their quarter‑final opponents on the 28th of this month when Leicester take on Southampton.
