Paul Scholes strike leveled this pulsating Carling Cup tie and gave the Old Trafford side the advantage on away goals. Manchester United were good value for their lead and they had Shay Given at full stretch on a number of occasions.

A Michael Carrick shot from six yards appeared to seal the victory with a quarter of an hour remaining but a Carlos Tevez strike appeared to taking the tie to extra time but a goal from Wayne Rooney in injury time gave United the win.

Sir Alex Ferguson will be delighted that his side overcame the first leg deficit to clinch a Carling Cup Final berth against Aston Villa and even happier to see his side past their arch rivals and near neighbours.
