Aguero Fires Manchester City To Capital One Cup final

Manchester City will play Liverpool in the Capital One Cup final after Sergio Aguero struck late to beat Everton 3-1 (4-3 on aggregate).

Everton took an early lead through Ross Barkley but goals from Fernandinho, Kevin de Bruyne and Aguero ensured City's progression as they will now meet Liverpool in a major final for the first time on February 28.

Everton will feel aggrieved at the decision to award the crucial De Bruyne equaliser as the ball appeared to be a yard over the dead-ball line as Raheem Sterling's cut-back allowed the Belgium international to score. It was a bitter-sweet night for City, though, as De Bruyne was carried off on a stretcher late on with a serious looking knee injury.
