Capital One Cup Semi Final time and the pre match outlook for the first legs were a double Manchester win but as with the FA Cup, there was a massive surprise.
Sunderland have one foot in the Wembley final after a shock 2-1 win at home to Manchester United with the opening goal being a complete surprise as Ryan Giggs diverted the ball into his own net in preventing Bardsley from scoring as United ended the first half 1-0 down.
Vidic levelled seven minutes into the second half but the joy for the travelling fans was short as United conceded a penalty which Borini converted to swing the joy to the home fans and Sunderland held on to hand United a third consecutive defeat while buoying their own mood away from their league struggle.
Like Sunderland, West Ham are also at the wrong end of the league but there was no surprise when they travelled to Man City who demolished them 6-0 and piled pressure on Hammers manager Sam Allardyce with Negredo kicking the rout off after only 12 minutes which he added to with a second in the 26th minute. Toure made it three just before the break as City looked in firm control of the tie, Negredo completed his hat-trick in the 49th minute and it was a case of how many for City.
Dzeko got in on the act on the hour and hit his second and City's sixth with a minute to go to send West Ham home with 11 conceded in consecutive games and with an impossible task in the return leg.
