Current Premier League leaders Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure firmly believes it’s his teammate Claudio Bravo, who led the sky blues to the draw for the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Chilean goalkeeper Bravo displayed impressive skills as City edged past Wolves on penalties 3-1 in a Football League Cup Round of 16 match on Wednesday.

Bravo made three fine stops during the 120 minutes that saw the scoreline locked 0-0 after extra time. Later, he shone with two brilliant penalty saves.
Toure, who scored City’s second penalty, didn’t shy to hail Bravo and he titled him as a penalty-saving expert.
“Today he was the best player. He helped us a lot. He made some important saves today and the penalties as well,” Toure said as quoted by Manchester City official website.
“He’s been the best and, for me, he was the man of the match. He’s been excellent today. I’ve been working with two or three ‘keepers here – Joe, Claudio and Caballero – three very good goalkeepers in penalty situations. Today he showed that,” the 34-year-old Ivorian footballer added.
Toure was of the opinion that it was solely Bravo, who won City the game. “He’s been under pressure with three one against ones with the striker. It’s not easy and he made a great contribution. He won the game for us,” he said.
