Chelsea manager Antonio Conte describes Bristol City's shock EFL Cup quarter-final victory over Manchester United as a "great achievement".

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has praised Bristol City after the Championship side shocked Manchester United to reach the EFL Cup semi-finals.

Korey Smith's injury-time strike gave the Robins a 2-1 win at Ashton Gate, knocking the holders out of the competition at the quarter-final stage.

The result sees Bristol City in the last four of the EFL Cup since the 1988-89 season, with a tie against Manchester City awaiting Lee Johnson's side.

Conte, whose side reached the semis with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth, told reporters: "It's a great achievement.

"You must pay attention in every game. These cups are very good for these types of surprise.

"I knew the final result in the changing room. It's a surprise but in England it's difficult to face every team."

Chelsea will take on Arsenal in the other semi-final tie of the 2017-18 competition.
