Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Claudio Bravo as his penalty heroics helped Manchester City defeat Wolves to advance to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Bravo, having been replaced by Ederson as City's first-choice goalkeeper, proved his worth on Tuesday night after he saved two penalties to help secure victory for the Sky Blues.

"In the special moments Claudio was outstanding," Guardiola told Sky Sports. "He was determined in terms of when you are one-on-one with him and then the penalties he saved two, so he was man of the match by far.

"It's a tough game, the opponent was so defensive, with 10 players in the box, the space was so tight.

"We controlled the first half and deserved one or two goals, then the game would have been completely different, but the second half we concede two or three counter-attacks, that's normal, they are so fast, but Claudio helped us to qualify for the next round.

"It's good for us, it is important to continue in the competition which is special for many reasons."
