English league cup Thursday, September 22, 2016 Manchester City marches on with 2-1 victory over SwanseaLONDON — Manchester City reached the fourth round of the League Cup with a 2-1 win over Swansea City yesterday as it continued its imperious start to the season under Pep Guardiola with a ninth straight win in all competitions. It was a less straightforward evening for City’s rival Manchester United, which was given a testing workout by third tier Northampton Town before goals from Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford wrapped up a 3-1 win. Charlie Austin and Jake Hesketh were on target for Southampton as it beat Crystal Palace 2-0 in an all-Premier League tie while Sunderland’s Paddy McNair scored twice in a 2-1 win over Championship side Queens Park Rangers. Hull City booked its spot in the next round after coming from behind to beat struggling Stoke City 2-1 thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Markus Henriksen. Bristol City beat Fulham 2-1.
