Matheus Nunes scored his first Manchester City goal to help edge Pep Guardiola's side into the EFL Cup third round with victory over Championship side Watford.
On a night when 16-year-old Kaden Braithwaite became the third-youngest player to start a game for City, and the youngest under Guardiola, Nunes followed up Jeremy Doku's fifth-minute opener with a precise first-half finish.
