Manchester City beat Manchester United 2-0 in the ½ final clash for the League Cup. Goals for the “citizens” were scored by John Stones and Fernandinho.
Thus, Pep Guardiola’s former students qualify for their fourth consecutive final of the tournament. There they will face Tottenham, who last night faced Brentford.
After a highly contested first half, full of tactical stretching, in the second half the “citizens” proved to be the most insistent and effective team and deservedly achieved final success.

In the 9th minute McTominey found Fernandes uncovered in front of the penalty area and shot dangerously with his right foot, but Stefan stretched to the maximum and saved.
In the 13th minute, De Bruyne found himself in a similar position with a pass from Stirling’s wing and without delay a shot, but hit the right post.
13 minutes later, Harry Maguire outscored everyone in the area after a corner kick, but his attempt to score was inaccurate.
In the 34th minute, Martial passed McTominey ahead, but the Scotsman’s sights betrayed him.
In the closing seconds of the first half, Marez fired a long shot into Henderson’s left corner, but the ball went wide.
In the 50th minute, John Stones opened the scoring after a free kick in which Luke Shaw dropped the Englishman into the penalty area at the far post.
In the 57th minute Stirling deflected his head after a pass from the side, but Henderson saved.
5 minutes later, Marez finished off with a brilliant performance from City’s counterattack, but Henderson showed a feline reflex and kept the intrigue alive.
In the 64th minute Harry Maguire put everyone ahead after a corner kick, but still missed the mark.
In the 72nd minute Pogba saw Fernandes, who fell alone in the penalty area, but the Portuguese sent the leather ball.
Fernandinho put an end to the dispute in the 83rd minute, after One-Bissaka cleared after a corner at the feet of the Brazilian, who voluntarily put Henderson in 0: 2.
