This year's Carling cup semi-final pitted the two Manchester clubs against each other in a fierce derby battle. Man city conceded an early lead to the Red Devils but rallied to score a penalty through Tevez before half time.A second goal from Tevez sealed the win for Man City in the Semi final first leg (Second leg to be played in Old Trafford). Gary Neville's comment about Tevez being not worth 25mil sparked the Argentinian to do his talking on the pitch with a brace of goals! Fergie must be kicking himself for not signing the striker. The other semifinal match(2nd leg) Aston Villa (Aston Villa lead 1-0 away in the first leg) has beat Blackburn Rovers with a classic scoreline of 6-4 to proceed to the final of the Carling Cup.
At Anfield, Liverpool put on a determined performance to outdo Spurs 2-0. Kuyt scored a brace for Liverpool as they are now one point from the 4th spot. Is this a sign of
Liverpool's comeback which they are so famous for? The score could have been more if the Liverpool players had their shooting boots on, the scoreline could have read 3-0 even before Kuyt scored the crucial second goal to seal the win. Spurs were just not good enough as they couldn't conjure up any clear cut chances. Had that controversial disallowed goal been allowed, it would have been a different game. But credit to Liverpool for pulling a win when no one thought they could. Arsenal foughtback from a two goal deficit to beat Bolton 4-2 to surge to the top of the league. Bolton played well but couldn't stop an in form Arsenal side from
scoring four goals. Arsenal are finally coping with the loss of Van Persie to injury, they are now on the verge of leading the pack and possibly winning this year's Premiership but that awaits to be seen if they can keep up their good form and prevent any injuries.So any thoughts on Arsenal's form? Liverpool's season revival? and Manchester United's troubles building up with their club's debt rising to 700m and their inconsistent form.
