Carling Cup result Manchester City 3 Arsenal 0 02/12/2009
Mark Hughes' Manchester City took Arsenal to school last night in the carling Cup quarter finals Eastlands and was dissapointed when Gunners boss Arsene Wenger wouldn't shake the ex Man Utd striker by the hand.
Adebayor didn't seem to want to get stuck in after humiliating himself against his former club earlier in the season in the Premier League when Man City beat Arsenal 4-2. In stark contrast, Argentinian striker Carlos Tevez was tenacious as ever and scored his 9th Carling Cup goal to open the scoring in the 50th minute. In my opinion, the Arsenal back line gave Tevez too much space to cut inside, skipping easily past 3 defenders to make the right angle and then he unleashed a powerful drive from inside the box past Fabianski finding the top corner of the net.
After Wenger subsistuted Craig Eastmond for Sanchez Watt in the 67th minute but 2 minutes later Sean Wright-Phillips doubled the lead, skipping past Mikael Silvestre and hitting a solid shot into the Arsenal net.
In the 89th Weiss finished the visitors off to take Manchester City into the Carling Cup semi-final, giving Mark Hughes a great opportunity to winning some silverware in his second season at Eastlands.
