Man city defeat Everton

Sergio Aguero booked Manchester City’s place in the League Cup last with a definitive late goal in their 3-1 triumph over Everton.

Ross Barkley gave the Toffees a 3-1 total lead following 18 minutes at the Etihad Stadium however Fernandinho’s redirected exertion set City back on track.

Kevin De Bruyne netted a second – however the ball seemed to have gone out for an objective kick in the development – before Aguero headed home the Belgian’s cross to make it 4-3 on total and set up a conflict at Wembley against Liverpool on February 28.

The night finished on a harsh note for Manuel Pellegrini, in any case, when De Bruyne was stretchered off with what seemed, by all accounts, to be a genuine knee damage.

City started on the front foot as they searched for an early leveler in the tie, however one surging keep running by Deulofeu gave the hosts a notice of Everton’s counter-assaulting risk.

Roberto Martinez’s side netted the opening goal through a comparative split when Barkley moved in the opposite direction of Nicolas Otamendi’s test, drove towards the edge of the container and rifled a low shot into Willy Caballero’s base right corner.
