Football: United in League Cup quarters
'We’re satisfied,' said manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Manchester United shrugged off their mauling against Manchester City in the Premier League to book their place in the quarter-finals of the League Cup with a comfortable 3-0 win over Aldershot.
Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen put the visitors 2-0 up before Antonio Valencia killed the game off just after half-time. “We’re satisfied,” said manager Sir Alex Ferguson. “In Cup ties the important thing is winning the game and we’re in the next round now.”
In other fourth-round action, Arsenal battled past Bolton 2-1, Crystal Palace stunned Championship leaders Southampton 2-0 and Cardiff advanced to the last-eight with a 1-0 win over Burnley.
