City Confirm EFL Final Place As Liverpool Continue EPL Title

 

Manchester City secured their place in the final of the EFL Cup and will get a chance to defend the title they won last year after beating Manchester United 3-2 on aggregate, despite Nemanja Matic – who was also sent off – ensuring a nervy encounter with a first-half goal that proved to be the only goal in a 1-0 defeat in Wednesday's second leg.

City produced a wonderful display in the first meeting at Old Trafford and were arguably unlucky to only win 3-1, though it proved to be enough to send Pep Guardiola's men to Wembley even though they failed to meet expectations at home.

Despite finding themselves under extreme pressure at times in the first half, United managed to go into the break ahead thanks to Matic's satisfying strike in the 35th minute, casting some uncertainty over City's command of the tie.

But United were unable to finish off the match and Matic's late dismissal for a second booking effectively ended their hopes.

Meanwhile, Liverpool completed a new record in English League, with their 2-0 defeat of West Ham meaning they have now beaten all the teams in the English division.

Mohamed Salah and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored the goals to move Liverpool 19 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win at West Ham even though Jurgen Klopp's side were nowhere near their best at London Stadium on Wednesday.
