Carling Cup semi-final 1st leg Manchester City 2 Manchester United 1

League Cup Man City 2 Man Utd 1 : 1st leg semi final at Eastlands
Roberto Mancini's Manchester City took the 1st leg to the Premier League champions Manchester United, winning 2-1 at Eastlands.

BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner Ryan Giggs scored early on in the 17th minute, shooting from close range placing the ball into the centre of the goal.

Carlos Tevez looked sharp, the Argentinian scored a well struck penalty to equalise and then shortly after the break he got his brace in the 65th minute, scoring with his head. Shortly after that Tevez was substiuted but got BBC man of the match which was well deserved.

Manchester United finished strongly but they couldn't quite get the equaliser, setting up a great second leg at Old Trafford.
