Palace Dump United Out of Cup
A Championship side will contest the Carling Cup Final at Wembley after a dramatic night at Old Trafford
Crystal Palace pulled off one of the shocks of the season to dump Manchester United out of the Carling Cup at Old Trafford. 12/1 underdogs heading into the quarter-final clash, the Eagles are now that same price (12/1 PaddyPower) to lift the trophy.
A stunning 35-yard strike from Darren Ambrose followed by an extra-time winner by Glenn Murray secured a famous 2-1 triumph at the Theatre of Dreams. Dougie Freedman’s young guns now face Cardiff City (10/1 Boylesports) in a two-legged clash that guarantees a Championship side in the Wembley final.
The other semi is a mouthwatering encounter between Manchester City (10/11 Boylesports) and Liverpool (7/4 Ladbrokes). All odds given are to win the Carling Cup, and are best on the market.
