Tevez fires 4 goals to help Man U trash Blackburn 5-3.

He’s done it again! After sending the Red Champions into the Carling Cup quarters with a penalty goal to nil, the argentine striker and “benched-for-the-season” victim took Wednesday night’s League Cup game at home to the Rovers to prove his capacities.

The flurry of goals:

There were no goals in the first thirty minutes until Giggs’ free-kick was powerfully headed home by Carlos Tevez aka ‘the bull’ as I call him. The goal scorer then played a wonderful one-two with Nani who buried the ball at the back of the net to double Man United’s lead.

Early in the second half, Benny McCarthy pulled one back for the visitors only for Tevez to widen the gap once more from the penalty spot.
The argentine completed his hat-trick in a cool way, driving Anderson’s square ball across the goal line.
Blackburn Rovers thought they could offer their manager Paul Ince a bit of relief when they score was 4-3 with some minutes left in the game.

However, it was Carlos Tevez who got the last word: He slaughtered the ball with a wicked shot from 20 yards to kill any chances of a Blackburn comeback.

After the match, his manager Alex Ferguson was full of praise for him. Perhaps this will give him the opportunity to be in Man United’s starting line up for the upcoming matches.

Well, this victory means that the Red Champions continue their formidable home record this season. They are the only team from the big 4 to survive in this competition. Manchester United complete the semi-finals line up with titleholders Tottenham who beat Watford, Derby County who beat Stoke City and Burnley who wrote off Arsenal 2-0 after disqualifying last year’s finalists Chelsea.

Manchester United v Blackburn Rovers in Carling Cup quarters.

Angela Asante — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 10:37:29 +0000

Manchester United play Blackburn Rovers tomorrow night in the Carling Cup.
Fergie – who serves his two match-ban – will probably spare his big players for the weekend’s clash against another of his former players’ team. This time, Man United will have to face Roy Keane’s Sunderland in the EPL.

After correcting Marc Hughes, the Scottish boss meets Paul Ince’s side who lie second from bottom in the Premiership standings. A win for them in the Carling Cup against Ferguson’s Reds will not only avenge them from the 2-0 defeat the suffered against Man U in the league some weeks ago, but it will also be a good relief for Paul Ince who has not tasted victory in over 4 games.

Manchester United haven’t won the Carling Cup since 2006 and for the third year in succession, the Reds will try to come out of this competition victorious.

Manchester United draw against Blackburn Rovers in Carling Cup Quarters

admin — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:10:06 +0000

The draws for the Carling Cup Quarter-finals were made last weekend, with only half of the big four still in contention.

Chelsea suffered a shock defeat in the hands of Championship side Burnley, while Tottenham kicked out Liverpool’s second choice squad 4-2.

But Manchester United remain in the running after seeing off QPR thanks to a 76th minute Tevez penalty. The Red Champions escaped the risk of meeting Wenger’s wonder kids in the last 8 but they still face Premier League opposition: Paul Ince’s Blackburn.

Man United haven’t won the Carling Cup for a while. This year is therefore the perfect opportunity for youngsters like Danny Welbeck, Rodrigo Possebon, or even Rafael Da Silva, to prove to Fergie how grown they now are by bringing the League Cup back at Old Trafford.
