MAN UTD 2-0 SPURS. United join Aston Villa in the semis with an efficient performance. Two great strikes from Darron Gibson were enough for Sir Alex Ferguson's side, who have not yet conceded a goal in the Carling Cup this season. Spurs will be disappointed, they were unlucky in the first half but offered little in the second. At least Harry Redknapp's side can focus on the league now.
- 92'
It's all over...
- 92'
Lennon crosses to Crouch but it's wide again from the Spurs striker.
- 91'
Good work from United around the edge. Macheda shows some neat touches. Park floats it to Welbeck who knocks it back to the Italian. Macheda strikes it low but it's in the side netting.
- 90'
Two minutes of stoppage time to play.
- 89'
United stream forward again. Macheda turns well and he's looked good since he's come on.
- 89'
De Laet wins it back but then gives it away. Anyone fancy keeping possession for more than one pass?
- 88'
Good ball but Dawson heads out and Spurs can try and break.
- 88'
Tosic to take.
- 87'
Tosic feeds in Welbeck and his first touch is a little heavy but he's won a corner.
- 86'
United looking to become the first team since Nottingham Forest in 1990 to retain the trophy.
- 85'
Dawson down the right and he puts the long ball into Crouch. The big man's header floats harmlessly wide.
- 84'
Good break by De Laet but he selles Macheda short as he attempts to find the Italian.
- 84'
Cries of "ole" around Old Trafford as United comfortably retain possession.
- 83'
Spurs just never picked up where they left off at half-time.
- 82'
Carrick, Park and Gibson exchange passes and United look to be taking it easy now.
- 82'
Huddlestone takes the free-kick and Dawson heads wide. At least Huddlestone found a Spurs player though.
- 82'
Lennon fouled again bursting through. Gibson gets a booking for his troubles.
- 81'
Good performance from Anderson. He's been involved in most of United's build-up play.
- 81'
United Sub: Tosic on for Anderson
- 81'
At Fratton Park, Pompey have shipped four at home again. Villa 4-2 victors and they will join, almost certainly, United in the semi-final draw.
- 80'
And Hutton's joined him now after bringing down welbeck.
- 79'
De Laet was in the book for that last challenge.
- 78'
There's a bit of claret but Brown looks unperturbed.
