BURTON-UPON-TRENT, England (REUTERS) - Sergio Aguero scored the only goal as Manchester City beat League One (third division) Burton Albion 1-0 to secure a 10-0 aggregate victory in their League Cup semi-final on Wednesday (Jan 23).
The Argentine striker slotted home from a Riyad Mahrez cutback in the 26th minute as City set up a final clash against Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur.
Pep Guardiola fielded a mixture of experienced and young players with Aguero, Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne starting. He also handed a debut to winger Ian Poveda while young talents Eric Garcia and Philippe Sandler started in central defence.
City demolished Burton 9-0 in the first leg with four goals from Gabriel Jesus and solitary strikes from De Bruyne, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker and Mahrez.
The Toffee's last league victory came in a 5-1 defeat of Burnley on Boxing Day, but the Merseysiders are without a win at their Goodison Park base in fifty-one days. Despite being two teams who have rarely threatened at either end of the table, previous meetings between Everton and Bournemouth have led to incredibly entertaining fixtures.
