:00:26. > :00:30.Good evening. After all the drama at the weekend, the Carling Cup had
:00:31. > :00:34.much to live up to. And with just one team in the last 16 from
:00:34. > :00:36.outside the top two divisions, who says the big guns don't take it
:00:37. > :00:40.seriously? Taking it very seriously is Mark Bright, who'll be keeping
:00:40. > :00:43.an eye on all the action. Later on, we'll look back at all of last
:00:44. > :00:47.night's goals. And if you haven't seen them, don't go far away. But
:00:47. > :00:50.we start with tonight's four all Premier League ties. With all four
:00:50. > :00:54.of the more fancied teams away from home, there was always the chance
:00:54. > :00:59.of an upset. Could Big Mick turn the boos into cheers for the visit
:00:59. > :01:04.of table-topping Manchester City? David Moyes has performed miracles
:01:04. > :01:09.at Everton. How would his magic fare against a Chelsea side
:01:09. > :01:12.boasting just one win in their last four way games? Stoke made some
:01:12. > :01:19.pretty astute signings in the summer and are unbeaten at home
:01:19. > :01:22.this season, so not the easiest of places for Kenny's Reds. And
:01:22. > :01:26.Blackburn sit 16 places below visitors Newcastle, who have had a
:01:26. > :01:32.terrific start to the season. Would the cup give the Rovers faithful
:01:32. > :01:35.something to finally shout about? We start at the Britannia Stadium,
:01:35. > :01:39.which has proved a tough place to visit this season, with Stoke City
:01:39. > :01:42.unbeaten in all competitions. Tony Pullis named a strong side for
:01:42. > :01:46.tonight's meeting with Liverpool, who have won this trophy more times
:01:46. > :01:49.than anyone else. In fact, they came away with an 8-0 win the last
:01:49. > :01:59.time the two met in this competition. Your commentator in
:01:59. > :02:08.
:02:08. > :02:13.Stoke winning 1 - 0 in the Premier League only last month. The
:02:13. > :02:21.Potteries team is five different from Arsenal on Sunday. The
:02:21. > :02:28.goalkeeper returns and Jonathon Woodgate. It changes to Liverpool.
:02:28. > :02:38.Jamie Carragher, the only man left from that 8 - 0 came 11 years ago.
:02:38. > :02:49.
:02:49. > :02:55.Kenny Dalglish has changed things on earth did he manage to come so
:02:55. > :03:02.close to scoring from there? He does not really have any room. He
:03:02. > :03:12.turns and fires. It was curling and dipping. Just not quite enough for
:03:12. > :03:17.
:03:17. > :03:27.Stoke City. Maxi Rodriguez On the Run. Thomas Sorensen. It came off
:03:27. > :03:27.
:03:27. > :03:32.the knee of Luis Suarez. They write, positive play. Keep going, is the
:03:32. > :03:38.cry from the manager. It is a partnership that is growing.
:03:38. > :03:48.Between Luis Suarez and Carol. That is how the partnership should be up
:03:48. > :04:07.
:04:07. > :04:16.toes of Pepe Reina. That curls. Blocked. That was an important
:04:16. > :04:26.block by Carragher. Not away yet. Not a great effort. Snatched and
:04:26. > :04:42.
:04:42. > :04:47.pulled wide. Just could not clear What are saved. Thomas Sorensen got
:04:47. > :04:55.down. And he stopped Liverpool going in front. Pretty much the
:04:55. > :05:02.best move of the match, certainly the best chance. That was a neat
:05:02. > :05:09.exchange. Luis Suarez, his body language suggested all he had to do
:05:09. > :05:13.was to tap it in and score. Carragher has more. Tony Pulis
:05:13. > :05:23.thought for one second that it was going to be different. The
:05:23. > :05:28.
:05:28. > :05:38.assistant referee... It is going to it. Instinctive reactions. You
:05:38. > :05:41.
:05:41. > :05:49.would wonder why he did it. Maxi Rodriguez. Luis Suarez. The shot
:05:49. > :05:55.blocked. Straight at Thomas Sorensen. It would have counted.
:05:55. > :06:05.Andy Carroll has had three chances. Two of them with his head. He could
:06:05. > :06:06.
:06:06. > :06:16.have done better. Andy Carroll. Just getting some stick from Stoke
:06:16. > :06:19.
:06:19. > :06:29.supporters. He scored nine goals from defence. Working down the
:06:29. > :06:40.
:06:40. > :06:49.in mid- air, the whistle went straight away. He had his eyes on
:06:49. > :06:58.it. Walters thought you'd had scored. He had an easy run. --
:06:58. > :07:07.thought he had scored. No danger for Stoke with a ball like that
:07:07. > :07:17.from Jordan Henderson. Look at that, just that little step across to the
:07:17. > :07:17.
:07:17. > :08:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:08:04. > :08:11.what a good strike that was. Thomas ball. And Kenwyne Jones scores!
:08:11. > :08:17.With half-time looming, Stoke City take the lead. It was a horrendous
:08:17. > :08:24.mistake. Look at this. The Uruguayan defender had too much
:08:24. > :08:28.time. Walters was a way. But even from this position, he thought,
:08:28. > :08:38.there is a lot to do for Stoke City. In the end, Kenwyne Jones did
:08:38. > :08:55.
:08:55. > :09:03.is claiming that he was caught and he should have a penalty. It did
:09:03. > :09:08.not hinder him enough to stop him getting his shot in. He is caught.
:09:08. > :09:18.Most unlike Luis Suarez. Somehow, he manages to regain his balance.
:09:18. > :09:42.
:09:42. > :09:52.Martin Kelly. Luis Suarez. He is getting used to hearing the crowd
:09:52. > :09:53.
:09:53. > :10:01.booing. That is my tip is that! -- magnificent. You get two sides with
:10:01. > :10:07.Luis Suarez, and that side is absolutely brilliant. He got the
:10:07. > :10:16.ball through the legs and then just hit it with the perfect cross. Only
:10:16. > :10:26.one thing on his mind from that point. That is precise. That is
:10:26. > :10:43.
:10:43. > :10:50.perfect. The goal that the old in front of him, he has got it back.
:10:50. > :10:56.Thomas Sorensen could not get there. Craig Bellamy already having an
:10:56. > :11:06.impact. Into the feet of Andy Carroll. He had to just developed
:11:06. > :11:07.
:11:07. > :11:17.his stride. In fact, Craig Bellamy miskicked. It very nearly came off.
:11:17. > :11:29.
:11:29. > :11:37.He thought about going for it again have one more substitution left.
:11:37. > :11:43.Henderson. Luis Suarez! He might just have won it for Liverpool!
:11:43. > :11:50.Stock switched off, Luis Suarez pounces. He has got the double and
:11:50. > :11:56.Liverpool look to be heading through to the quarter-finals.
:11:56. > :12:02.Hoisted back in by Jordan Henderson. How on earth was Luis Suarez left
:12:02. > :12:12.alone like that? There was never going to be any doubt. Once he had
:12:12. > :12:34.
:12:34. > :12:39.that much space. 1 - 0. Two goals make the change before? Kenwyne
:12:39. > :12:46.Jones coming off. I don't think that has impressed a number of
:12:46. > :12:56.Stoke City supporters. The two-goal match-winner, Luis Suarez, is going
:12:56. > :13:19.
:13:19. > :13:24.playing a part in keeping out this corner. Pepe Reina. It has gone all
:13:24. > :13:34.the way over. With the Liverpool touch for the Stoke City throw in.
:13:34. > :13:37.
:13:37. > :13:44.It was flying in, flying over everybody. Rory Delap. Pepe Reina
:13:44. > :13:51.got something on to that. Peter Crouch. The flag is up. He has
:13:51. > :13:56.missed, anyway. It would not have counted. Appeals all over the place
:13:56. > :14:00.for free-kicks, penalties, the referee is letting it all go
:14:00. > :14:03.because there is no point when you are not quite sure what is
:14:03. > :14:11.happening in all that. He has to get it in as soon as you can...
:14:11. > :14:17.Peter Crouch will go for it. Defended. Peter Crouch once more.
:14:17. > :14:25.Somebody is going to have to have a shot very soon. Throw-in. There
:14:25. > :14:33.will just be time for it. Kenny Dalglish is desperate to hear that
:14:33. > :14:39.full-time whistle. 4.5 minutes' time has been played. Rory Delap
:14:39. > :14:46.with one last chance. Out comes Pepe Reina. Headed behind. Time for
:14:46. > :14:50.the corner? No, the next whistle signifiers full-time. After a
:14:50. > :14:55.second half in which Liverpool have turned this around. One goal down
:14:55. > :15:05.at the break, Kenwyne Jones netted for Stoke City and back in
:15:05. > :15:15.Liverpool. Liverpool for the League Cup? It might be. They're going
:15:15. > :15:18.
:15:18. > :15:23.into the quarter-finals. 2 - 1, Delighted to be progressing but
:15:23. > :15:31.even more for Luis Suarez. To score the way he did. He was never going
:15:31. > :15:34.to score with the tap in. We created a lot of chances. I want to
:15:34. > :15:41.say, Jamie Carragher is a smashing lad and I have a lot of respect for
:15:41. > :15:46.him. But the challenge, it was a bad challenge. You and I have both
:15:46. > :15:55.seen it and other people have. See what other people think. And the
:15:55. > :15:58.other incidents, the goal from the throw. Especially, when you compare
:15:58. > :16:03.to what the guys did to Peter Crouch in the second half. The
:16:03. > :16:07.referee has got good reviews and all those decisions. Looking back
:16:07. > :16:14.on a night of what could have been forced at City. Tomorrow, all about
:16:14. > :16:18.Luis Suarez? Absolutely, I really like him, he can turn and create
:16:18. > :16:25.anti- never scores any easy goals. Tonight, he was the difference
:16:25. > :16:29.between the teams. The first one was special? Great touch. There is
:16:29. > :16:33.still plenty to do. But he can do that in training all day long but
:16:33. > :16:43.to do it when it really counts, pure genius. It really is. He meant
:16:43. > :16:47.
:16:48. > :16:52.the ball in. Look at this... Just pulls off the back of him and it is
:16:52. > :16:58.a free header. I thought this was going to be very difficult. Both
:16:58. > :17:04.teams made big changes and it really is something special. He
:17:04. > :17:14.just spins and shoots. Gives you something different. That massive
:17:14. > :17:16.
:17:16. > :17:23.He is serious, they have been in the final more than any other club.
:17:23. > :17:29.It is that squad rotation thing. Eight changes tonight. Going behind,
:17:30. > :17:33.coming back, in front. There are lots of positives for Kenny
:17:33. > :17:40.Dalglish and to create those chances, he will be really pleased.
:17:40. > :17:42.Perhaps not scoring as many... 12 attempts on goal. 7 On Target. He
:17:42. > :17:46.will be disappointed that Andy Carroll did not get the goal
:17:46. > :17:52.because he needs one. That partnership has not developed. They
:17:52. > :18:01.have to keep working at that. But as long as Luis Suarez is scoring,
:18:01. > :18:04.Andy Carroll will get his goals. OK... If Wolves were expecting a
:18:04. > :18:06.stern test when they were initially drawn with Manchester City,
:18:06. > :18:09.goodness knows what they were thinking after City's mauling of
:18:09. > :18:12.their neighbours at the weekend. The 6-1 win over Manchester United
:18:12. > :18:14.meant they were brimming with confidence as they headed to
:18:14. > :18:24.Molineux, where Wolves' last win came in the previous round. Martin
:18:24. > :18:25.
:18:25. > :18:30.come to Wolverhampton in turmoil. Struggling for points in the
:18:30. > :18:35.Premier League. Some fans turned on the manager on Saturday, can the
:18:35. > :18:39.Carling Cup bring them some cheer? Or will be unstoppable city express
:18:39. > :18:46.ploughed into the last it? On the Stephen Ward and Kevin Doyle
:18:46. > :18:51.remained for the team that started against Swansea. Dorus De Vries yet
:18:51. > :18:57.to play for Wales in the Premier League. But an ever present in this
:18:57. > :19:04.competition. It is all change for City. The starting 11 still
:19:05. > :19:14.contains five full internationals, including Edin Dzeko. He took his
:19:15. > :19:29.
:19:29. > :19:33.goals tally to nine goals on Sunday. Forward, Wall's. Up goes Edwards.
:19:33. > :19:40.Not far off target for the man who scored against Manchester City in
:19:40. > :19:46.their 2 - 1 win about one year ago in the Premier League. The white
:19:46. > :19:56.scarf is out for Roberto Mancini. Quite chilly tonight. He shakes for
:19:56. > :20:02.
:20:02. > :20:12.the long throw. Have a shout for a foul. That is what they were
:20:12. > :20:13.
:20:13. > :20:19.shouting for, the Wolverhampton fans. He tugs on his shirt. Heavy
:20:19. > :20:29.touch again. And the whistle has gone for the free-kick. He turns
:20:29. > :20:31.
:20:31. > :20:38.the studs down. David Edwards in there. Appeal for handball from the
:20:38. > :20:42.Wolverhampton fans. Look at that as it comes in. I think he was trying
:20:42. > :20:52.to duck out of the way. It clearly strikes is right for arm. The
:20:52. > :20:56.
:20:56. > :21:04.referee did not see that. Only he knows. The not a bad pullback.
:21:04. > :21:12.Nenad Milijas! He has done it again! Wolves have looked lively
:21:12. > :21:15.all evening. Plenty of goals to pick out. It fell to Nenad Milijas.
:21:15. > :21:25.Goals home and away last year in the Premier League. He would love
:21:25. > :21:27.
:21:27. > :21:32.to play against Manchester City every week. That was missed by
:21:32. > :21:42.David Edwards. He has picked out the man in the middle. Scapuzzi. He
:21:42. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:06.was wide. Wide of the far post of Dorus De Vries. Samir Nasri. He
:22:06. > :22:11.just got the touch on it. Johnson! Oh, what a clean strike! City are
:22:11. > :22:18.level. Nine minutes before half- time. Johnson involved in the
:22:18. > :22:25.build-up. It looked like they disappeared as the touch got to it.
:22:25. > :22:32.Adam Johnson, loads of space. Andy bench that beyond Dorus De Vries.
:22:32. > :22:40.Manchester City are level. And with that goal, Roberto Mancini can take
:22:40. > :22:47.his seat in the dug-out. Fascinating to see how that Cole
:22:47. > :22:56.upsets Wolves. They have not started well. Now, Manchester City
:22:56. > :23:04.are finding their rhythm. Doherty. Samir Nasri. 2 - 0! What a finish
:23:04. > :23:07.from the Frenchman! Lovely pass. Samir Nasri, quick enough to get
:23:07. > :23:13.away from Doherty. And confident enough to take the chance early
:23:13. > :23:23.doors. He drills that beyond Dorus De Vries. The bottom corner of the
:23:23. > :23:36.
:23:36. > :23:42.goal. Only two minutes and 20 the footballing equivalent,
:23:42. > :23:49.possibly. On Saturday, Wolverhampton scored two goals in
:23:49. > :23:59.two minutes. Coming behind to level against Swansea. It is Johnson.
:23:59. > :24:06.
:24:07. > :24:13.Edin Dzeko waits in the box. Scapuzzi. Dzeko makes it three
:24:13. > :24:22.goals in four minutes! And Dzeko into double figures for the season!
:24:22. > :24:27.They are pulling Wolves apart, City. Scapuzzi almost scored. And as
:24:27. > :24:31.Dorus De Vries tried to untangle himself, P Jonas Gutierrez rolls it
:24:31. > :24:41.in from only two yards. Surely there is no way back four
:24:41. > :24:43.
:24:43. > :24:50.Wolverhampton, now? They have an almighty final on their hands, now.
:24:50. > :24:55.Dzeko! How did he miss that? They have scored three goals in three
:24:55. > :25:02.minutes and 50 seconds. That should have been a 4th goal. It was put
:25:02. > :25:12.onto a plate for Dzeko. What a turnaround for Mick McCarthy and
:25:12. > :25:18.
:25:18. > :25:28.his assistant. Windsor corner. Wolves had three of those in the
:25:28. > :25:34.
:25:34. > :25:40.first half. Taken short. Not a bad ball. Curls one in. Between them,
:25:40. > :25:50.they made a right pig's ear of that. That was a glorious chance to
:25:50. > :26:00.reduce the arrears. Early doors in the second half. Off goes Kolarov.
:26:00. > :26:02.
:26:02. > :26:10.Who will he pick out? It is Samir Nasri. Scapuzzi. And it is in.
:26:10. > :26:15.Kolarov. I wonder if actually that came off the back of the goalkeeper
:26:15. > :26:21.as it was cleared off the line by Edwards? That might be down as an
:26:21. > :26:31.own goal. The signs are that Mick McCarthy will make a couple of
:26:31. > :26:34.
:26:34. > :26:44.changes. Hamill and Jimmy O'Hara. Dzeko, through the centre. This is
:26:44. > :26:50.Samir Nasri. That is beautiful football. Dzeko. And that was wide.
:26:50. > :27:00.It is so easy. Scapuzzi what the centre. Dzeko gets his second goal
:27:00. > :27:02.
:27:02. > :27:08.of the night. 5 - 1 Manchester City. And with just under 30 minutes to
:27:08. > :27:14.go, surely they will be able to match six at least from Sunday?
:27:14. > :27:24.Possibly even improve on that. They want six goals. One person wants
:27:24. > :27:34.nine of them! Stephen Ward. Stephen hand. The angle was not favourable.
:27:34. > :27:43.
:27:43. > :27:53.But that is a goal for Gerry notebook. O'Hara with his second in
:27:53. > :27:59.
:27:59. > :28:09.a matter of days. There is still a smile on the terraces. He saw the
:28:09. > :28:26.
:28:26. > :28:35.gap and he has gone through. But not a bad right-footed shot.
:28:35. > :28:40.And again, he was stretched. He has discovered his shooting boots over
:28:40. > :28:45.the last couple of days, O'Hara. That was moving away from the
:28:45. > :28:52.goalkeeper. That was a good save in the end. This is Adam Johnson. Good
:28:52. > :29:02.covering. The corner has been given. There was a feeling that he played
:29:02. > :29:10.
:29:10. > :29:20.off the City forward. He needed to referee might have been looking out
:29:20. > :29:24.
:29:24. > :29:34.for that a bit more. That is clearly a foul. Popular T-shirt in
:29:34. > :29:51.
:29:51. > :30:00.the Manchester area up. The his time and got his head up, at
:30:00. > :30:07.TEPCO was in a good position and he could have had a touch. -- Dzeko.
:30:07. > :30:10.Every year we want to improve. There are some moments when you
:30:10. > :30:20.score a lot of goals and some moments it is impossible to score.
:30:20. > :30:21.
:30:21. > :30:27.That is it. I hope we can continue to score. At the moment, we are
:30:27. > :30:36.playing well and I hope we can continue. No qualms about how we
:30:36. > :30:46.play. They are still chasing them and creating chances. The attitude
:30:46. > :30:51.
:30:51. > :30:58.and desire to play is great. I No matter what Mancini face, they
:30:58. > :31:02.still come up with five goals at a Premier League club. In credible.
:31:02. > :31:11.It has got everybody competing for places. The youngsters are
:31:11. > :31:13.fantastic. How will they react? They want to play on Saturday.
:31:13. > :31:20.Allan Johnston, England international, not even on the
:31:20. > :31:27.bench. It was fantastic. -- Adam Johnson. I thought Wolverhampton
:31:27. > :31:36.played really well. They could have had in heard of the, but Manchester
:31:36. > :31:43.City were so dominant. -- they could have had a penalty. They had
:31:44. > :31:50.three goals in four minutes. Maybe Johnson had a point to prove?
:31:50. > :31:58.you play in the Carling Cup you are surrounded by quality. You want to
:31:58. > :32:04.prove the point. I thought Johnson played really well. This is Dzeko
:32:04. > :32:11.getting the goal and he was impressive as well. They absolutely
:32:11. > :32:16.annihilated Wolverhampton. In the end it looks overwhelming but for a
:32:16. > :32:22.long section of the game they were still in it. Mick McCarthy can take
:32:23. > :32:29.plenty of hard. And who knows what can happen at the weekend. He could
:32:29. > :32:34.make more changes than make it difficult. His team never did then,
:32:34. > :32:43.thin ever rolled over, and that speaks volumes. -- they never
:32:43. > :32:53.rolled over. Ominous for Manchester City. Chelsea could not afford to
:32:53. > :32:54.
:32:54. > :33:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:34:19. > :34:28.seeing a former Liverpool man miss from there. They have Torres and
:34:28. > :34:36.Lampard on the bench if they need them later. The referee has done
:34:36. > :34:46.nothing. Anelka has not looked upset. That should have been a free

:40:24. > :42:17.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:42:17. > :42:23.moment to win the tide. They know dramatic tale. Great goal-line stop

:43:54. > :43:58.we showed we had the will to win the game. It shows our ambition in
:43:58. > :44:04.every competition. I think the players did well. It was tough in
:44:04. > :44:07.the first half, Chelsea were good. We hang in there and then the
:44:07. > :44:12.second half we were a better team throughout. I thought we should
:44:12. > :44:19.have won at long before it got to the end of the 90 minutes. It has
:44:19. > :44:27.been messy for us. I think all of the boys would like to dedicate
:44:27. > :44:36.Two missed penalties and a late winner at the death, an incredible
:44:36. > :44:42.game? One chances, Everton would have won but the Everton goalkeeper
:44:42. > :44:47.is the reason they haven't gone through. The first one was a gift.
:44:48. > :44:56.The second one hurried straight down. There was a proper cup tie.
:44:56. > :45:02.It was full of incidents. There is one we have not even mentioned yet.
:45:02. > :45:12.This was the first penalty given for a Chelsea. McCracken and
:45:12. > :45:25.
:45:25. > :45:29.You can see the green laser pen flash at the ball. I saw this on
:45:29. > :45:32.the replay. You see that sort of thing on a confident but not in
:45:32. > :45:41.England. It is not what you want to see. He missed the target and there
:45:41. > :45:50.was no excuse. It came down to the winner. We mentioned Daniel
:45:50. > :45:56.steerage -- Sturridge. He is coming on to his own now. He has really
:45:56. > :46:02.come to fruition. He has really come into his own as a player and
:46:02. > :46:12.he is now a starter. Is there much concern? You cannot win thing with
:46:12. > :46:16.
:46:16. > :46:21.ten men. You can avoid things like that. You cannot compete unless you
:46:21. > :46:31.have 11 players on the pitch. What a bench tonight. The strongest of
:46:31. > :46:32.
:46:32. > :46:37.the night. It was really strong. The last game saw two sides were
:46:37. > :46:47.contrasting fortunes. A struggling Blackburn Rovers welcomed Newcastle
:46:47. > :47:14.
:47:14. > :47:24.to seize the cup is -- as a bruise to Blackburn's season. After only
:47:24. > :47:25.
:47:25. > :47:35.five minutes the home side were ahead. Newcastle's response was
:47:35. > :47:37.
:47:37. > :47:47.instant. Chances continued at both ends. For Newcastle, Guthrie did
:47:47. > :48:22.

:48:57. > :49:00.
:49:00. > :49:10.like. Guthrie found his range. Five minutes into added time, there was
:49:10. > :49:25.
:49:25. > :49:28.a free kick conceded. Newcastle Pedersen. Still, it was not the
:49:28. > :49:38.winner. Newcastle were not done and they found their way back in with
:49:38. > :49:56.
:49:56. > :50:06.for one last effort in a shoot-out. You may was their hero, sending
:50:06. > :50:09.
:50:09. > :50:13.them through in front of 10,500 disbelieving supporters. He had
:50:13. > :50:20.harm spring -- hamstring trouble before half-time. For him to get
:50:20. > :50:25.man of the Match and score the goal, a very good evening for him.
:50:25. > :50:35.have got good players in our team to God -- get goals like that. We
:50:35. > :50:38.
:50:38. > :50:48.deserve them. Football has a funny way and justice sometimes today, we
:50:48. > :50:52.
:50:52. > :50:57.did everything and we have to come Finally something for Blackburn
:50:57. > :51:07.fans to smile about tonight? There have been campaigned and protests
:51:07. > :51:07.
:51:07. > :51:15.but great character from Newcastle's point of view. It has
:51:15. > :51:23.been good for confidence. To be taken into extra time in such
:51:23. > :51:32.fashion, you would almost forgive them for caving in. I was thinking,
:51:32. > :51:38.2-0, then Newcastle showed character. For the home fans to get
:51:38. > :51:46.behind the team and for them to dig in and grind out a result, do not
:51:46. > :51:50.underestimate the last free kick. It lifted the whole place.
:51:50. > :51:56.question is, will it kick-start the rest of the season? Be the manager
:51:56. > :52:04.will say, look what you have done today. They have had a strong team
:52:04. > :52:08.out tonight and he will say that they can do it. Last night saw all
:52:08. > :52:14.of the non Premier League clubs have their child for glory. No more
:52:14. > :52:24.so than Aldershot, who knocked out higher when two teams. Last night
:52:24. > :53:02.
:53:02. > :53:05.they have welcomed Manchester of Aldershot's net. It is the first
:53:05. > :53:15.sight of goal Manchester United have had and they are ahead on
:53:15. > :53:15.
:53:15. > :55:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:55:00. > :55:05.attempt of the night. The accuracy end and there is a two-goal lead.
:55:05. > :55:15.Berbatov, scored the first and set up the second for Michael Owen. He
:55:15. > :55:33.
:55:33. > :55:40.has scored nine goals in his last great decision it was! It is his
:55:40. > :55:50.first goal of the season. It is some way to Burke Manchester
:55:50. > :56:02.
:56:02. > :56:09.United's place in the 5th round of free kick, I think a free kick,
:56:09. > :56:19.right on the edge. I think Walton believes he was on the edge of the
:56:19. > :56:24.
:56:24. > :56:34.area, not when he fell. Good block from Berbatov. Warner did well to
:56:34. > :56:34.
:56:34. > :57:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:57:38. > :57:46.terrific save by Ben Amos. I think the players enjoyed
:57:46. > :57:56.themselves. Aldershot work very hard and they made us play. It was
:57:56. > :57:57.
:57:57. > :58:02.an important night for us. In cup- ties you can easily be knocked out.
:58:02. > :58:08.We are in to an end next round and that is important. -- into the next
:58:08. > :58:18.round. I am sure the club and fans will remember this. The fans were
:58:18. > :58:21.
:58:21. > :58:25.Aldershot did themselves proud. A different 11 from Manchester United
:58:25. > :58:34.but the perfect response to Saturday. Pride is restored
:58:34. > :58:38.somewhat. Professional attitude and a solid performance, a clean sheet.
:58:38. > :58:44.He was very complimentary to Aldershot. They look like they
:58:44. > :58:50.would score a goal. At times they gave Manchester United a scare.
:58:50. > :58:57.have to give credit to Michael Owen and Berbatov, they put in a great
:58:57. > :59:04.performance. A lot has gone on for Berbatov in the last few months.
:59:04. > :59:08.was a leading goalscorer. It has not been easy for him but his
:59:08. > :59:15.performance was fantastic. He was tackling and chasing back. He got
:59:15. > :59:21.himself on the scoresheet. Like any player, you are representing the
:59:21. > :59:26.club and you have a big task on your hands. Week-in, week-out, he
:59:26. > :59:32.sometimes used -- lose your sharpness. I think he played well.
:59:32. > :59:36.He had a point to prove. everybody has a point to prove. He
:59:36. > :59:42.has had to what others do well, including Michael Owen. He has had
:59:42. > :59:52.12 league goals in the last 12 games. He always proves a point.
:59:52. > :59:54.
:59:54. > :00:04.They only had three shots on target. Their potential banana-skin for
:00:04. > :00:05.
:00:05. > :00:09.Manchester United? Maybe, they thought Aldershot that were first,
:00:09. > :00:19.and it was thoroughly professional. The other two Premier League teams
:00:19. > :00:32.
:00:32. > :00:41.in action were after -- Arsenal and from the box. Arsenal bring that
:00:41. > :00:46.clear. The danger is averted. Given away. Fabrice Muamba. Played in
:00:46. > :00:55.four Pratley. Fabrice Muamba! Bolton take the lead. And it was a
:00:55. > :01:00.former Arsenal youngster. Arsenal have never lost a League Cup tie on
:01:00. > :01:09.this ground. They have to come from behind to keep that run going
:01:09. > :01:18.tonight. Can he drinks his way to the penalty area? That was clinical.
:01:18. > :01:27.His second of the campaign. He restores parity. That was given
:01:27. > :01:36.away to Andrey Arshavin. He times that to perfection. Off the mark at
:01:36. > :01:46.last. Arsenal turn it around inside three minutes. Measured to
:01:46. > :01:50.perfection with the past and the finish was there to match. A slow
:01:50. > :01:58.start to the season for Arsenal but seven wins out of it in all
:01:58. > :02:05.competitions. Their finding their The Bolton game was fantastic. It
:02:05. > :02:11.was not the usual slick Arsenal. They had a few youngsters. The
:02:11. > :02:20.combination of experienced players, so, yes, it was not convincing, to
:02:20. > :02:28.be honest. Park Chu-Young made his mark. A round of applause, here.
:02:28. > :02:36.had several opportunities. He can show what he can do. As we know,
:02:36. > :02:46.Arsenal relies so heavily on Van Persie. It was very similar to that
:02:46. > :02:46.
:02:46. > :02:54.Luis Suarez goal. Neatly taken. He needs to know that he has other
:02:54. > :03:00.players who can contribute. Andrey Arshavin played a more central role.
:03:00. > :03:07.It was not easy. The question for Arsenal fans, much has been made
:03:07. > :03:12.about the stride of trophies, will he take it more seriously in the
:03:12. > :03:18.quarter-finals? It is a competition for mixing the team up and playing
:03:18. > :03:24.youngsters. He will go through to the semi-final. The final last time
:03:24. > :03:34.and it was an opportunity. They lost that. Some big names left in
:03:34. > :03:40.
:03:40. > :03:42.that tournament. A formidable partnership? You said it. Two all-
:03:42. > :03:45.Championship clashes to round off the action starting with leaders
:03:45. > :03:55.Southampton travelling to resurgent Crystal Palace, who had lost only
:03:55. > :03:59.
:03:59. > :04:03.challengers and the final 17 minutes. Williams combined with
:04:03. > :04:07.Aaron Martin. Williams setting up Darren Ambrose for his 4th goal of
:04:07. > :04:14.the season. Then Williams worked another opening down the same wing,
:04:14. > :04:22.thanks to neat work from the final climb. Williams was brought down by
:04:22. > :04:32.Dan Harding. No set pattern protest and no mistake by Jermaine Easter.
:04:32. > :04:36.
:04:36. > :04:42.Claiming the quarter-final place. Cardiff had the winner just before
:04:42. > :04:47.half-time after Burnley enjoyed their best period. Aaron Goodison
:04:47. > :04:53.made the deception which turned the match. Don Cowley did the hard
:04:53. > :04:58.yards from midfield. And Joe Mason supplied the finish, his second
:04:58. > :05:08.goal in two games. And cadres first quarter-final experience --
:05:08. > :05:09.
:05:09. > :05:17.appearance since 1965. It has been They have a man who is in form?
:05:17. > :05:23.Mason. 18 years old. There has been a drought in the Cup, getting this
:05:23. > :05:29.far. But there was not much in the game and these two have been
:05:29. > :05:36.involved in some nice games. He takes it ever so well. He just gets
:05:36. > :05:42.lucky here. Slightly unlucky. But they are through. And the draw was
:05:42. > :05:49.lucky. Crystal Palace feel they have an excellent chance. Crystal
:05:49. > :05:52.Palace, you are an old boy. You want to wax lyrical? Jonathan
:05:52. > :06:00.Williams has come through the academy. He was involved in both
:06:00. > :06:08.goals. Just slides into that area. The six-yard box. Dan Ambrose. It
:06:08. > :06:14.was tough. Southampton played good football. Feeding in Jonathan
:06:14. > :06:22.Williams. The penalty. And then Jermaine Easter wrapping it up.
:06:22. > :06:27.Southampton played well. And a very young players as well. James Ward-
:06:27. > :06:32.Prowse? 16 years old. Just sat in front of the defence and he
:06:32. > :06:39.controlled the game. He showed a very controlled performance and he
:06:39. > :06:46.has a big future. Full credit. Dougie Freedman said that Crystal
:06:47. > :06:50.Palace surprised him. You? Yes, just struggling to stay up. A
:06:50. > :06:54.change of personnel. The whole club is heading in the same direction,
:06:54. > :06:59.pulling the same way. I have watched some development gains and
:06:59. > :07:03.people are fighting for places. It is really going well. Jonathan
:07:03. > :07:10.Williams, he was trusted to play in the first team. That is a big
:07:10. > :07:18.compliment. You just try and turn them out along the conveyor belt.
:07:18. > :07:21.Now he has got you smiling. Just one game in the nPower Championship
:07:21. > :07:24.tonight and Leeds had the chance to move into third if they could win
:07:24. > :07:34.at Birmingham whilst City knew a win would take them to within a
:07:34. > :07:40.
:07:40. > :07:44.point of the playoffs, still with to six games in all competitions.
:07:44. > :07:49.And they see in that narrow victory over Leeds United. They are doing
:07:49. > :07:56.brilliantly now. Birmingham up to eighth place. One. Outside the
:07:56. > :08:00.play-offs. Four points of second place, West Ham United. It is all
:08:00. > :08:08.starting to click. At the right time. And that is what the European
:08:08. > :08:12.That's it from us. All the teams are back to the day job on Saturday,
:08:12. > :08:16.so we're back with the Football League Show after Match of the Day
:08:16. > :08:22.at 11.45pm on BBC One. Thanks for your company tonight. The so-called
