Manchester C. 3 - 0 Arsenal

Second-half goals from Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Vladimir Weiss steered Manchester City into their first domestic cup semi-final since 1981 after a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Arsenal.

Mark Hughes' side were then drawn against neighbours Manchester United in a mouthwatering semi-final.


Against a Gunners side trying to bounce back from Sunday's hammering by Chelsea, City got their noses in front thanks to Carlos Tevez, who picked up a winners' medal in last year's competition with United.

Wright-Phillips added a second with a fierce drive from the edge of the area 20 minutes from time and Vladimir Weiss also scored at the death to keep City on course to end a trophy drought which extends back to their win in this competition 33 years ago.

Manchester City 1-1 Hull City

Hull City fought back to earn a draw against Manchester City in the Barclays Premier League.


Jimmy Bullard drove home an 81st minute penalty to condemn Manchester City to a seventh successive draw at Eastlands.

Shaun Wright-Phillips' first half effort seemed to have secured victory for the hosts to end their unhappy streak.


But a spot-kick provided the perfect opportunity for Bullard to strike. And he did not let his team down.

Manchester City 3-3 Burnley

Burnley scored late to earn a spectacular 3-3 draw at Manchester City.


Kevin McDonald tapped home an 87th-minute equaliser to give Burnley a share of the spoils at Manchester City.

After establishing a two-goal lead through Graham Alexander and Steven Fletcher, it seemed the Clarets were slumping to yet another away defeat when City roared into the lead thanks to Shaun Wright-Phillips, Kolo Toure and Craig Bellamy.


But when Fletcher's nod-back fell kindly for McDonald, he wasted no time in delivering the visitors' first away point since their top flight return, and extending City's sequence to five successive Barclays Premier League draws.
