Everton 0-3 Wigan Athletic
It was a day to forget for David Moyes’ side as they were
thrashed 3-0 by Wigan Athletic in front of their home fans. The Blues put in an
insipid performance and didn't really look like recovering after they conceded
3 goals in as many minutes in the first half. Maynor Figueroa’s header followed
by goals from Callum McMannaman and Jordi Gomez left the home fans at Goodison
Park stunned as they saw their side being put to the sword by Roberto Martinez’s
men. Marouane Fellaini, who has been one of the star performers for Moyes this
season looked a forlorn figure and was jeered when he was subbed later in the
game evincing a reaction from the Belgian who got into an altercation with some
sections of the fans.
Manchester City 5-0 Barnsley
It was a 5-star performance, quite literally, from the
English champions as they romped home in this mismatch of a semi-final against
Championship side Barnsley. Carlos Tevez’s hat-trick set City on their way as
their opponents were simply outclassed at the Etihad stadium. Tevez, fresh off
being arrested for driving while being ineligible, continued his recent good
run when he tapped in from close range to give City the lead on 10 minutes
after David Silva’s shot rebounded off the post. The two were involved again
for the second goal with Silva this time a willing provider as he set up Tevez
for another simple finish. The Argentine then completed his hat-trick in the
second half running on to a pass from Samir Nasri to finish beyond the keeper.
He also added 2 assists as he repaid Kolarov and Silva for their assistance
early in the game as they added City’s 4th and 5th goals
of the evening. Barnsley who had reached the quarters felling some big names had
no answer to the Sky Blues’ firepower as they were comfortably brushed aside.
