Manchester United 1-3 Manchester City

90+2 minutes

It's City doing the probing in injury time, searching for what would surely be a tie-ending goal. Silva gets a shot off in the box but it's blocked.

That's it! An improvement after the break from United but that first half has done the damage. City will feel very confident ahead of the second leg later this month. Another trip to Wembley looks very likely for Pep Guardiola and his players as things stand.

This was certainly not a one-off from Guardiola's City side.
