In the EFL Cup, Manchester United have enjoyed two late goals to reach the semi-finals as they beat Everton 2-nil at Goodison Park.

After almost a full-time deadlock, Edinson Cavani's stunning curling effort from 20 yards out ended the hosts' resistance in the 88th minute, just as the game looked set to be heading into penalties.

Just in the final seconds, substitute Anthony Marsiel doubled the advantage in Sstoppage time. He fired the ball home after completing a counterattack to help Ole Gunnar Solshaayer on the way to earn his first trophy as United boss.

At the expense of Everton, the Red Devils booked a place and a Derby showdown in the semis against Manchester City.
