Carling Cup Semi Final (2nd Leg) 27/01/10
Manchester United secured their place in the final of the Carling Cup with a 3-1 win over bitter rivals Manchester City. Manchester United, the cup holders, will play Aston Villa at Wembley on 28th February 2010.
The first half saw the teams very closely matched with few chances and it was no surprise to so the sides go in at half time at 0-0.
In the second half the game came alive and Manchester United took the lead in the 56th minute when Paul Scholes drilled home a shot into the bottom corner of the net beating the Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given.
Manchester United could sense victory and another Wembley final and in the 71st minute they added a second goal when Michael Carrick's shot went in off a post.
But there was yet to be a twist in the tale. Former Manchester United player Carlos Tevez pulled a goal back for City in the 76th minute when he turned in a Craig Bellamy cross from an acute angle.
The match looked to be headed for extra time before the brilliant Wayne Rooney headed in a cross from Ryan Giggs to put Manchester United into the final.
