Matheus Nunes scored his first goal for Manchester City as the team secured a 2-1 win against Watford, advancing to the fourth round of the League Cup on Tuesday.

City took the lead early, with Jeremy Doku scoring within the first five minutes. Nunes extended their advantage in the 38th minute, giving Pep Guardiola's side control of the match. Despite a late goal from Tom Ince for Watford, City held on to avoid a penalty shootout.

Elsewhere, Chelsea moved forward with a 5-0 victory over Barrow, Leicester edged past Walsall in penalties, and Aston Villa won 2-1 against Wycombe. Newcastle United's game against AFC Wimbledon was postponed due to flooding.

Nunes, who moved from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £53 million, capitalized on his opportunity, displaying his potential with a low finish from outside the penalty area. He nearly bagged a hat-trick but was denied by Watford's Jonathan Bond.
