- Tevez haunts former club
Manchester City gained the upper hand in their semi-final against Manchester United as Carlos Tevez scored twice against his former club. Tevez scored one from the penalty spot and a second half header to cancel out Ryan Giggs' go-ahead goal...........




But look what the man with no ambition, from the small pond duh!



I wonder if Fergie shook his hand? I didn't get home in time to see whether it was on or not but I do find it ironic (you have used the term "poetic justice" before) that it is Tevez who sink the old club. Glad for him...unuh shoulda did sign him from lang time!

Now the noisy neighbours are telling Manchester United to tone it down - and it was pure theatre, of course.
The sight of Carlos Tevez running straight to Gary Neville and informing the Old Trafford skipper that he was ‘all mouth’ after scoring a quite brilliant penalty.
The sight of him ignoring the taunts of Wayne Rooney, once his partner in the United attack and now his arch enemy, and driving the ball with such power, such courage, past another former team-mate who had done everything in his power to put him off.

On the spot: Tevez fires City level with a thumping penalty

And then the sight of him then running in front of the dug-outs and making what looked like a gesture to the Manchester United directors after scoring a real poachers goal to seize the initiative in this fascinating Carling Cup tie.
Riled by Neville’s comments, when he publicly supported Sir Alex Ferguson’s view that Tevez was not worth the money his new employers paid to lure him across the city, Tevez was not going to let anyone else take advantage of Rafael Da Silva’s foul on Craig Bellamy.
He wanted to deliver the perfect riposte, just as he wanted to then run to the touchline to ram those words down Neville’s throat, and he did so in a manner that communicated exactly how he felt. Against Sunderland last month he was lucky to score from the penalty spot when he scuffed his effort.
This one was hit with every ounce of his strength. Dead straight and simply unstoppable.
But Tevez was not finished yet. Not by a long way. He might have cancelled out a first-half opener from Ryan Giggs but this was the night when Tevez was able to really have his say.
Remember that moment at Old Trafford when he cupped his ears in the direction of a United board reluctant to pay the money for him. Well he seemed to do it again here.
It meant this most intriguing of Carling Cup semi-finals is on a knife-edge. It might have left United with the comfort of an away goal that could determine the outcome
of this tie if the scores are level after extra time next week. But Old Trafford should prepare for another classic contest.
Ferguson declared September’s seven-goal thriller the ‘greatest’ Manchester derby in history and this could run it close.

Two good: Tevez heads City in front at Eastlands

Because thanks to Tevez, thanks to the little Argentinian who so incensed Ferguson when he appeared on that poster, City remain within touching distance of a final that could end the club’s 134-year-old wait for a trophy.
Thanks to Tevez, who went off in the 79th minute to a great ovation from the City fans, they have more than a fighting chance when so many injuries, and some interesting selection choices by Roberto Mancini, left them looking vulnerable.
When Ryan Giggs scored in the 17th minute, and so took advantage in the absence of key City defenders, Mancini’s side did appear to be doomed.
Mancini had dared suggest City could soon supersede United as the biggest club in Manchester but Ferguson no doubt believed he was still right. Not in his lifetime.
Ferguson might have suggested he would select a team of kids for this game but he knew this was one Carling Cup tie he was going to have to take more seriously. More seriously even than last year’s final at Wembley when he did give some of his reserves, Ben Foster among them, the chance to get their hands on some silverware.
United still had their injury problems but they did not compare to City’s, who were so bad Mancini had to make some selection decisions that bordered on the bizarre.
As well as putting a youngster in Dedryck Boyata alongside a midfielder in Vincent Kompany at centre-half, he had to deploy a full-back in Pablo Zabaleta as foil to Carlos Tevez.
It left Robinho, again sitting on the bench, in no doubt of his standing in the eyes of his new manager.
With local bragging rights more important to United than the actual competition, the visitors were in no mood to give their neighbours an easy ride. From Patrice Evra’s opening challenge on Nigel de Jong to the final whistle, it was a fiercely-contested encounter.

Delight: Tevez celebrates after putting City in front in the semi-final first leg

Predictably, Tevez was central to much of the action and when he delivered a cross that was cleared by Darren Fletcher there were quickly appeals for a penalty.
Handball? Mike Dean thought not and, in fairness to the referee, it did look like Fletcher used his head.
Mancini must have cursed his defenders for not using theirs soon afterwards, because again a lack of defensive discipline let them down and so allowed United to go ahead.
If Antonio Valencia did well to muscle his way past Craig Bellamy and deliver a low cross, City’s back four really should have done better in dealing with the danger.
As it was, Wayne Rooney met the ball virtually unopposed and when Shay Given parried it was Giggs who was there to strike from close range.
Ferguson could not hide his delight, immediately springing to his feet and throwing up his arms in celebration. But the sense of elation did not last long. Not when City were as quick as they were in applying the pressure on a United defence missing both Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
Tevez probably should have scored when Shaun Wright-Phillips sent in a teasing cross, but the diminutive Argentina striker drove his header into the ground and wide.


Perfect start: Ryan Giggs put United in front early on

But it was when Dean awarded what appeared to be a rather dubious 41st-minute penalty that City drew level. When Tevez blasted the ball into the roof of the United net that this game really caught fire.
Rafael Da Silva did look a little unlucky. Dean tried to tell United’s players that Da Silva had tugged Craig Bellamy’s shirt not once but twice but television replays suggested
both fouls were committed outside the area.
It mattered not to Tevez, of course. He ignored Van der Sar’s attempts to unnerve him by wasting time - and received a booking in the process - and what looked like a few choice words from Rooney as he made his run up, fearlessly driving the ball past his former goalkeeper with real venom.
One of the more amusing goal celebrations then followed, as did a fascinating second half. It was terrific stuff. Micah Richards saw an effort cleared off the line by Evra and Giggs threatened with a header.
But when Zabaleta seized on United’s failure to clear a corner and Kompany met his colleague’s header with a ball into the six-yard box, it was Tevez who pounced. Welcome to Manchester Roberto.
