Carling Cup : Man Utd 4 agg Man City 3

Wayne Rooney headed Manchester United to Wembley with an injury-time winner to beat Manchester City in a pulsating 3-1 victory.Wayne Rooney's 21st goal of the season in stoppage time prevented the Manchester derby going into extra time, and clinched a 3-1 victory at Old Trafford to send United through 4-3 on aggregate.And United boss Fergie said: "I thought Wayne was much better in this game than he was on Saturday when he scored four goals against Hull."His control, his leading of the line and his penetration were absolutely fantastic.

"It was a wonderful performance. A true, world-class display." After Carlos Tevez had threatened to take the semi-final into extra-time when he quite brilliantly turned home Craig Bellamy's cross 14 minutes from time, up popped Rooney, who nodded home Ryan Giggs' cross to secure a Carling Cup final meeting with Aston Villa on February 28.

The focus of the night was on England's second-tier knockout competition, and second-half goals from Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick looked to have clinched a spot in the final for Ferguson's side after overturning the 2-1 first-leg deficit.

Carrick prodded the ball back for Scholes to drive a shot into the net in the 52nd.

And Nani flicked a pass through to Darren Fletcher inside the City box and the midfielder passed to Carrick, who placed his shot in the bottom corner with the aid of the post in the 71st.

But Carlos Tevez volleyed past former United teammate Edwin van der Sar six minutes later to level the semifinal at 3-3 on aggregate.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini could not hide his disappointment at the defeat after his side had the edge going into the second leg. He said: "I am very sorry for the players and the supporters because we played very well and at the same level as United.

"We had a big possibility to go to the final. We were only under pressure for 10 minutes. We were very unlucky. But that is football. I can only compliment my players. We have another trophy to aim for and maybe we can win the FA Cup.''
