Highlights

Manchester City take a huge step towards the Carabao Cup final with an emphatic victory at Old Trafford. The match – and the tie – was all but over at half-time, with City 3-0 up after a devastating performance. United improved in the second half, when City’s intensity dropped, but they will need to win by two at the Etihad in the second leg just to take the semi-final to penalties.

Phil Jones is hobbling around with cramp, to the great amusement of the City fans. United have used all their substitutes.

De Bruyne seems okay, but he has been replaced by Gabriel Jesus as a precaution, or because Pep is bored.

De Bruyne is face down after a collision with Lindelof. There was a bit of concern that he might be unconscious, but he seems to be okay.

GOAL! Man Utd 1-3 Man City (Rashford 70) It could have been 4-0; instead it's 3-1. City gave the ball away near the halfway line and United pounced. Greenwood played a nice pass to put Rashford through on Bravo, and he finished emphatically into the bottom corner.

De Gea makes a fine save from Mahrez! That could easily have been 4-0. Mahrez teased Williams on the edge of the box, beat him with a stepover and smacked a low right-footed shot that was kicked away by the stretching De Gea.

68'

City's intensity has dropped in the last 10-15 minutes, which will be a relief to United. In fact the second half has been a fairly even contest.
