    I didn’t know this (the 8 shot stat at the bottom of the page)

    Lee Johnson and Pep Guardiola's sides will meet again on 23 January
    Bristol City's players might be feeling deflated after Manchester City's late winner on Tuesday night, but they shouldn't be.

    The Robins lost the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final but they still got what they came to the Etihad Stadium for because the tie is still alive, and they should be so proud of that achievement.

    I was delighted with the way the Championship side played and, as callers to 5 live said after the match, they put many Premier League teams to shame with their attack-minded approach - they did anything but park the bus.

    Not many teams have gone to Etihad Stadium this season and tried to play on the front foot and, when they have, Manchester City have beaten them with a lot more ease than they did against Lee Johnson's side.

    Bristol City had eight shots at goal in Tuesday's tie. None of the 16 other teams to have visited Etihad Stadium this season in the Premier League, Champions League or Carabao Cup have managed more.
