Southampton manager Nathan Jones recorded the biggest

win of his short reign as they reached the EFL Cup semi-finals

with a richly deserved win over favourites Manchester City.

Jones has struggled for approval from Saints fans since his

arrival from Luton Town but his rating surely soared with the

manner in which the Premier League strugglers maintained

their good cup form.

The game was settled in the first half by Sekou Mara's crisp

finish after 23 minutes and a superb second from Moussa

Djenepo five minutes later.
