In the semi-final match of the Carling Cup between Manchester City and Liverpool at Etihad Stadium, Manchester, the Reds got a slender lead and will meet City again in the second-leg at Anfield.
Steven Gerrard penalty shot gives Liverpool a goal advantage ahead of the second-leg. Liverpool takes a narrow lead back to Anfield after
Roberto Mancini's side produced a disappointing performance and had little to show for their second-half improvement.Steven Gerrard's first-half strike from the penalty spot proved the difference as the hosts produced a performance far removed from their 3-0 league victory over the same opposition just last week.
The loss is City’s second at home in four days, following the defeat to local rivals Manchester United on Sunday, whereas the visitors found yet more cup success after their 5-1 win over Oldham last Friday.
