Cardiff 2-0 Blackburn: The shock of Tuesday saw Blackburn 'forfeit' their game against Cardiff. Kenny Miller put Cardiff ahead after nineteen minutes before Anthony Gerrard wrapped things up five minutes into the second half. Steve Kean said in a post-match interview that they forfeited the match to focus on the Premiership.
Chelsea 0-2 Liverpool: Andre Villas-Boas remains under fire after a second defeat at home to Liverpool. Maxi Rodriguez put Liverpool ahead thirteen minutes into the second half with Martin Kelly making it 2-0 on 63 minutes.
Arsenal 0-1 Manchester City: City edged out Arsenal in a game that the hosts had opportunities to win. Sergio Aguero rounded off a counter attack with seven minutes to go to put them through to the semi-finals.
Manchester United 1-2 Crystal Palace AET: The shock of the round saw Man United vacate the tournament after a poor display against Palace. Darren Ambrose scored a screamer on 65 minutes before Federico Macheda equalised on the spot four minutes later to force extra time. Poor marking, despite a possible offside call, allowed substitute Glenn Murray to make it 2-1 eight minutes into the extra period to seal the upset.
The final may be a dud one however as Manchester City will take on Liverpool. But Cardiff or Crystal Palace have a great opportunity to get to Wembley to challenge for silverware.
