Ki sinks Chelsea with late goal
Sunderland, Man City through to League Cup semifinals

LONDON (AP) ― Chelsea allowed late goals in both regulation and extra time to lose 2-1 to Sunderland in the League Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday.
Manchester City advanced with help from Edin Dzeko’s two goals at Leicester.
South Korea midfielder Ki Sung-yueng grabbed Sunderland’s winner with two minutes left at the Stadium of Light, with Chelsea having been taken to extra time after allowing an 88th-minute equalizer by Fabio Borini.
“Football is about scoring goals and winning matches, not being the best team on the pitch,” said Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, whose largely second-string side wasted a number of chances after Frank Lampard scored in the 46th minute.
Like Chelsea, City rested several key players but still had enough to top second-tier Leicester 3-1, with Dzeko’s brace adding to the opener scored by Aleksandar Kolarov from a superb free kick.
The other quarterfinals take place on Wednesday, when Tottenham hosts West Ham and Manchester United visits Stoke.
