Bristol City 2-1 Manchester United: Anthony Martial's handball, Robins bring their gif game and the best of Chelsea's win over Bournemouth... eight things you missed

• e-mail

Bristol City sent Manchester United crashing out of the Carabao Cup after Korey Smith's stoppage-time strike secured a stunning 2-1 victory.

The Championship promotion challenger will face Manchester City in the last-four as Smith's winner rocked a star-studded United side.

Joe Bryan gave City a 51st-minute lead but Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalised shortly afterwards. Then, just when extra-time beckoned, Smith was set free by Matty Taylor and delivered the goods

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea looked to be heading to extra time as well when Dan Gosling levelled Willian's opener, only for Alvaro Morata to send his side into the semis.

With late goals and plenty of drama, you would be forgiven for missing the games' finer points. Luckily, Sportsmail was on hand to bring you the moments you may have missed on Wednesday night.

Even Jose has a bit of festive spirit

Cheery is not a word you would use to describe Jose Mourinho of late. Mourinho has cut a moody figure as he has been forced to watch United's cross-town rivals Manchester City disappear off into the Premier League title distance.

Perhaps acknowledging how big a deal it is when United pay a visit to a team in the tier below, Mourinho delighted the Robins mascots by handing out high-fives and even signing their boots.

Lights out at the Bridge... but not for long

The players are out and the lights are back on, thankfully.

Darmian in the hole? Sounds about right

Line-up graphics are always a minefield now we are in the kind of post-4-4-2 landscape that would have Mike Bassett dancing on a bar in his underpants on a weekly basis. 

Formation guessing is a tough job, the names come out and within seconds some poor soul in the media department is tasked with surmising what tactical plan a manager has in his mind.

With that said, who looked at United's first XI and thought 'yeah, Darmian in the hole'? 

The official team-sheet had Matteo Darmian playing 'in the hole' — an interesting choice

Martial a law unto himself

Anthony Martial did not have his best night at Ashton Gate. Too often he was running into dead ends and failed to produce a telling final ball. 

It could have been worse, mind. In a rare trip back to his own penalty area he appeared to handle the ball as it dropped over his shoulder. 

Fortunately Mike Dean and his officials were not interested.

City's gif game falls flat with a Christmas re-run

Bristol City's goal gifs are the stuff of legend on Twitter but with perhaps their biggest stage ever they could only wheel out a festive re-run for Bryan's opener. 

Followers were not impressed at the lack of originality: 'old', 'need some new material' and 'could have done a new one' came a few of the responses.

Unsurprisingly City's effort for the winner got better feedback though...

Lee gives a ball boy lift-off 

City manager Lee Johnson was just looking for someone to hug when Smith hit the winner in added time. 

As Johnson sprinted off down the touchline — in a manner reminiscent of his opposite number — a ball boy ran towards the diminutive Robins chief and leapt into his arms. 

Johnson swung the youngster around in a moment of sheer joy that would warm the heart of the coldest character.

Extra-time avoided - sports desks rejoice

Little-known fact: sports editors hate extra time. It means papers hit stands without up-to-date information as they go to press before the conclusion of the game. 

Both of Wednesday's quarter-finals were going to an additional 30 minutes as the clock ticked into added time but both finished with results inside regulation. Rejoice.

However, whilst their bosses might have been delighted the writers at the grounds were hastily re-writing their reports. You can't please everyone.

Lucas can't resist a dig

Lucas Leiva has moved on to pastures new but he showed his true colours on Twitter after the final whistle at Ashton Gate. 

The former Liverpool midfielder tweeted: 'Get in Bristol City', followed by a few rolling on the floor laughing emojis and 'unlucky'.
