Burton Albion 0-1 (agg 0-10) Manchester City: Pep Guardiola’s men confirm place in Carabao Cup final with victory over League One side
Manchester City unsurprisingly booked their place in the Carabao Cup final with a routine 1-0 win in their semi-final second-leg clash at Burton.Sergio Aguero’s 26th-minute strike was all that separated the two sides on a freezing night at the Pirelli Stadium, completing 10-0 aggregate success.Goalscorer Aguero captained City on the night4

The holders will face either Chelsea or Tottenham at Wembley on Sunday February 24th – as the two London sides do battle at Stamford Bridge in the other semi tomorrow night- a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT, kick-off 7:45pm.City fielded a side with a mixture of youth and experience as they went through the motions against their Sky Bet League One hosts, while Benjamin Mendy returned to action after more than two months out injured.Nigel Clough’s side did create the odd threat as they sought a consolation on what was still a momentous night for the club, despite the one-sided nature of the tie, but City held firm.Pep Guardiola gave Phil Foden another run-out while there was a debut for winger Ian Poveda-Ocampo and further chances for promising defenders Eric Garcia and Philippe Sandler. None of them looked out of their depth but they benefited enormously from playing alongside the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez and Aguero.Burton could not be faulted for enthusiasm as they ran at City willingly but with little joy.Liam Boyce got the crowd excited when he flicked towards goal from an early set-piece but Aro Muric was down quickly to smother the effort. Marcus Harness also got the better of Oleksandr Zinchenko but his final ball was lacking.Despite those efforts, the difference in quality was evident as Mahrez and De Bruyne took charge.City made eight changes but there were still starting spots for the likes of De Bruyne and Mahrez4

Aguero actually looked rusty in the early stages but he soon shrugged that off to score after 26 minutes. Mahrez, who had already shot wide twice, collected a fine through ball from De Bruyne and laid back for the Argentinian to finish with a neat low strike.Burton were almost gifted a chance when Muric got too casual and allowed a pass to escape his control but the youngster recovered to clear off the line.The Brewers pushed again early in the second half and David Templeton wanted a penalty after colliding with Danilo but referee Kevin Friend waved away the appeal.City will face either Chelsea or Spurs in the final4

Aguero should have doubled City’s lead on the hour but uncharacteristically missed the target from close range after being presented with a gilt-edged chance from a Foden cutback.It proved his final act of the night as he made way for Gabriel Jesus soon after, while Mendy was also introduced.Sandler almost allowed Burton in for a consolation when he slipped and Boyce pounced but Muric blocked his shot and Garcia cleared Will Miller’s follow-up effort off the line.Garcia cleared this late Burton effort off the line4

Jesus, who scored four in the first leg, almost added a second for City late on but his close-range effort was blocked and Bradley Collins pushed over a Danilo free-kick.
