Man Utd 5-3 Blackburn – Carling Cup – Highlights

December 3rd, 2008 | 10 Comments | Posted in Carling Cup

Carlos Tevez scored four times to lead Manchester United into the Carling Cup semi-finals at Blackburn’s expense.

Tevez headed in from close-range and then set up Nani to fire home, before Benni McCarthy’s shot pulled one back.

Tevez struck next from the spot after he was fouled by Martin Olsson, before tapping in another to seal his treble.

McCarthy set up Matt Derbyshire to slot in and McCarthy struck himself from four yards out, before Tevez hammered in a cracker to seal it in injury time.

Tevez’s magnificent display is sure to cause selection problems for boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who has left him on the bench for much of the season in the league.

As for Blackburn, their poor performance will not ease the pressure on under-fire manager Paul Ince, who has seen his side slip into the Premier League drop zone in recent weeks.

They promised much in a lively opening, with a Stephen Warnock shot forcing Ben Foster to tip over early on, but soon it was all United.

Tevez was at the heart of every attack and Rovers could not live with his movement, t

1-0 Tevez 38′

2-0 Nani 40′

2-1 Mccarthy 48′

3-1 Tevez (Penalty) 51′

4-1 Tevez 54′

4-2 Derbyshire 84′

4-3 Mccarthy 89′

5-3 Tevez 90′

    Now THIS is more like a £32m display from Charlie Tevez; his performances up to now have been truly abysmal!

    The last goal really shows his confidence is back up, and his 3rd was one of the best team goals I’ve seen, with slick passing between Giggs, Anderson & Tevez.

    One thing about United’s performance though… Is it just me, or does the lad Gibson actually do anything?

    What matches have you been watching? Tevez has been playing very very well ever since he came to United, his partnership with Rooney was outstanding last season, they might not have got 30 goals each but nobody can argue against their effectiveness. Tevez is an excellent player for United, it’s a very difficult situation now they have 3 strikers, one of them will have to go at some point.
