Holders United into Carling Cup final

Posted in News | January 28th, 2010

Manchester United are into their 8th League Cup final after seeing off Manchester City 4-3 on aggregate after an enthralling 2nd leg at Old Trafford.

United were trailing 2-1 from the 1st leg but goals from Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney gave Sir Alex Ferguson’s side a 3-1 victory on the night to deny the Sky Blues a first final appearance in this competition since 1976.

United went 2-0 up but Carlos Tevez looked to have secured extra-time after notching his 3rd goal of the tie on 76 minutes. But Rooney had the last laugh, scoring an injury-time header to set up a final with Aston Villa and the chance to defend the trophy they won last season.

Bookmakers have installed United as odds-on favourites to win the 2010 Carling Cup Final.
