Carlos Tevez, who famously left Manchester United at the end of last season under a cloud to join rivals Man City, scored twice as they came from behind to beat Sir Alex Ferguson's men....

Manchester City, inspired by a Carlos Tevez double, recovered from being 1-0 down against Manchester United to reward their backers who got them as big as [13.5] in-running on Betfair tonight. Ryan Giggs opened the scoring for United, who came in from about [2.8] to a mark of around [2.2] when Sir Alex Ferguson chose to name his strongest possible side.

But Tevez's brace, the first from the spot after a controversial penalty was awarded, meant those who had backed United to win at odds of [1.37] were denied, as were those who took even money on the draw with the score at 1-1. City will go into the second leg as the [1.6] favourites on the to qualify (for the final) market with United [2.6]. Mancini's side are [3.1] to win the competition, having traded at a high of 12 earlier on in the campaign. Man Utd, surprisingly given they're the outsiders to progress, are shorter to lift the trophy at [3.1]

In the FA Cup, there were wins for Notts County over Forest Green Rovers and Cardiff over Bristol City, with the winners matched at [1.87] and [4.4] respectively.
