Last night, Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-0 at the City of Manchester Stadium to book their place in the semi-finals of the Carling Cup.

Goals from Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Vladimir Weiss in the second half  guaranteed Manchester City a place in the 2009-2010 Carling Cup semi-finals.

Manchester City dominated the game and could have easily been a goal up through Craig Bellamy in the first half. Arsenal had a couple of chances, but once Carlos Tevez and Shaun Wright-Phillips had put City two goals ahead, the game was as good as finished.

Manchester City will play their fierce local rivals, Manchester United, in what will no doubt be a classic Carling Cup semi-final encounter.

The other semi-final sees Blackburn take on Aston Villa.
