Bright Enobakhare has apologised to Wolves fans for his Manchester City misses and vowed to find the net next time.

The young striker missed two gilt-edged opportunities to win the Carabao Cup fourth round tie at The Etihad but couldn’t beat City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

And Wolves were made to pay as Bravo saved penalties from Alfred N’Diaye and Conor Coady as Pep Guardiola’s team won 4-1 on spot-kicks.

And young forward Enobakhare has taken to Instagram to apologise to the 6,000 Wolves fans who made the trip.

He wrote on Tuesday: “I’m so sorry for the loss tonight. Only god knows what those chances I had means to me and please I will not let you down next time.”

How fans reacted to City defeat

It was a night of pride for Wolverhampton Wanderers as they pushed Manchester City all the way before being knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties.

Nuno Espirito Santo's Championship table-toppers met the Premier League leaders at The Etihad on Wednesday evening and became the first side since Everton in August to avoid defeat against Pep Guardiola's side.

Nuno made nine changes from the team which defeated Preston North End 3-2 on Saturday as only captain Danny Batth and sweeper Conor Coady kept their places.

Star duo Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota were given the night off, but it didn't matter as Wolves' second string went all the way with the best team in the land.

And supporters, despite the eventual defeat, were beaming with pride at full-time.

Jon Dent wrote: "Gutted but never confident on pens. Unbelievable result though considering what City have done to teams this season."

Sergio Aguero, who was supposed to become City's all-time leading goalscorer tonight, was shut out by Wolves before scoring the decisive penalty.

Wolves bow out of the competition despite not conceding a goal in their four matches.

And, unsurprisingly, City fans used to seeing their team steamroll all before them at present, were also very complimentary of Nuno's side.

George Vizor wrote: "Wolves have been the best side we’ve played this season."

Glen: "Some very young lads out there tonight. Not a single one looked out of place against the best players money can buy. On we go!"

Charlie Greg: "What a performance from our 2nd team. Great spirit, desire. Should take great confidence from this. So many positives. Proud tonight."

Steven Webley: "Nuno's Wolves are the real deal. A shame to go out on penalties but this is a measure of how far we've come since Fosun took over."
