Manchester City eased into their first League Cup final in 38 years with a record 9-0 aggregate victory against semi-final opponents West Ham.

Holding a seemingly impregnable 6-0 first-leg lead, City strikers Alvaro Negredo and Sergio Aguero combined to complete the formalities at Upton Park.
Third round: Wigan (H) 5-0
Fourth round: Newcastle (A) 2-0
Quarter-finals: Leicester (A) 3-1
Semi-finals: West Ham (H) 6-0 & (A) 3-0
An unmarked Negredo nodded in, Aguero clipped past Jussi Jaaskelainen and the Spaniard barged through to net.
City will face either Manchester United or Sunderland at Wembley on 2 March.
Cross-city rivals United host Sunderland in their semi-final second leg on Wednesday as they try to overturn a 2-1 home win in the reverse fixture.
