Here is what happened:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2018\/jan\/09\/manchester-city-bristol-city-carabao-cup-match-report\"><strong>Manchester City 2-1 Bristol City<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Championship promotion chasers did their best to take home a positive result for the second leg at Ashton Gate. However, City\u2019s quality eventually shone through with a late winner from Sergio Aguero.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly the visitors struck first late in the first half. Bobby Reid surged into the Manchester City penalty area, only for John Stones to bring the forward down. Reid then dispatched the spot-kick past Claudio Bravo in the City goal.<\/p>\n<p>The Citizens were level ten minutes into the second half. Kevin de Bruyne played a nice one-two with winger Raheem Sterling before firing past Frank Fielding from just inside the visitor\u2019s box. Pep Guardiola had chosen to leave Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero on the bench. However, the striker was sent on to find City the winner and the substitute did just that two minutes into stoppage-time. The striker got his head onto a Bernardo Silva cross to head home from close-range.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Johnson\u2019s visitors will be disappointed by conceding late on. However, the Robins are still well in this tie, ahead of the second leg in two weeks at Ashton Gate, where they defeated Manchester United in the last round. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/reviews\/william-hill\">Citizens are still favourites to win the clash and the trophy<\/a><\/strong>, though.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/chelsea-vs-arsenal\/386988\"><strong>Chelsea v Arsenal<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday the second semi-final first leg takes place at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea host Arsenal in a London Derby.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\">Chelsea are the favourites to progress to the final<\/a><\/strong>. However, the Blues have failed to win any of the last four meetings with the Gunners. In fact, these two teams met just last week in an entertaining 2-2 Premier League draw at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Three of the last four meetings between these two teams have finished in draws in 90 minutes, so the encounters have been of a close kind in recent seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea rested a number of key players for their weekend 0-0 draw at Championship Norwich in the FA Cup. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger also rotated his squad in the FA Cup. However, the holders went out of the competition courtesy of a 4-2 defeat at another Championship side Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea are strong on home soil and are unbeaten 11 games at Stamford Bridge in all competitions, winning nine of those 11 unbeaten games. The Blues have won their last four home games, conceding just one goal in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Coupled with Arsenal\u2019s away record of just three away wins in their last 12 games in domestic competitions, Wednesday night\u2019s game looks particularly difficult for Arsene Wenger\u2019s side. The team from north London will be looking for a positive result to take back to the Emirates Stadium for the second leg in two weeks\u2019 time. Even then, the Gunners could find it hard to get the better of their London rivals.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who will make it to the League Cup final?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Carabao Cup has reached the semi-final stages and the first of the ties kicked-off on Tuesday night, as Premier League leaders hosted Championship Bristol City at the Etihad Stadium.

Nugent\"},\"description\":\"First off, I want to say hi and wish a warm welcome to all gambling aficionados out there! My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/Nuge1983\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legitgambling.com\\\/news\\\/author\\\/david-nugent\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Aguero scores last-gasp winner for Manchester City against Bristol City -","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/aguero-scores-last-gasp-winner-manchester-city-bristol-city\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Aguero scores last-gasp winner for Manchester City against Bristol City -","og_description":"The Carabao Cup has reached the semi-final stages and the first of the ties kicked-off on Tuesday night, as Premier League leaders hosted Championship Bristol City at the Etihad Stadium.

Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/Nuge1983"],"url":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/author\/david-nugent\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3096\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
