Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial scored goals at the last moment as Manchester United claimed a 2-0 win over Everton to seal a spot in the League Cup semi-finals in very cold Goodison Park on Wednesday.

United squandered numerous opportunities in the opening stages and at times the game was terrible on both sides as the game seemed to be heading for penalties before Cavani picked up the ball on the right wing, leaped in with his left foot and will pass to Everton goalkeeper Robin Olsen. .
Martial added a second with virtually the last kick of the game as the visitors join Championship Brentford, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-final, with a place in the April 25 final at Wembley up for grabs.
“It was an excellent performance and we should have been out of sight, we had three or four great chances. We need to be more clinical,” United manager Harry Maguire said after the game.
“Edinson Cavani’s finish was also excellent with his weak foot. He’s had an injury but it’s good to have him back, he’s been a great striker throughout his career.
“We are expected to win trophies. It is important to get to these big games, but we have to start winning them and lift some trophies for this club.”
Everton coach Carlo Ancelotti was disappointed that his team failed to obtain a favorable result.
“We did enough to win, a good performance that we needed to defend, which we did well, but more in the second half,” he said. “We had a difficult start, but after 20 minutes the game was under control. We didn’t play enough attacking football but we had to defend and until the last 20 minutes we did well.”
