Manuel Pellegrini: 'An important win in an important competition'

Manuel Pellegrini is happy with his players after Manchester City's "important" win against Leicester City.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini believes that his side's win against Leicester City in the Capital One Cup was another "important" step in their season and says that it would be "wonderful" to reach the final at Wembley.

Pellegrini's men saw off their Championship opponents at the ​King Power Stadium with a brace from Edin Dzeko and 30-yard free kick from Aleksandar Kolarov.

Despite a late consolation for the Foxes, Man City held on to secure their place in the semi-finals.

"We had a very good first half, and then we had the possession and dominated the game until they scored. It is an important competition, it is important to win every game you play in and to get to the final at Wembley would be wonderful for the supporters," Pellegrini told BBC Sport.

"I think the Capital One Cup is different to normal because we could have Tottenham and Manchester United also in the semi-final so that would be beautiful for the fans."

City are back in Premier League action against Fulham at the weekend.
