    Man City 1-1 Man Utd

    Manchester City probing here.

    Ryan McAidoo does the hard work down the right-hand side as he powers past Godwill Kukonki but his left-footed effort is over the bar.

    A brilliant opportunity not quite taken.

    A slick Manchester City move as they break at rapid pace.

    Ryan McAidoo lays the ball off to Reigan Heskey to his right but the forward can only find the side netting.

    Manchester United give away a needless free-kick and Darren Fletcher looks to be getting increasingly frustrated.

    His side haven't started this second half particularly strongly.

    I was about to say if VAR had been in operation, that would have been a penalty.

    Given some of the VAR decisions recently, actually maybe not.

    But Cameron Byrne-Hughes didn't play the ball.

    For me, that is a penalty. That's a poor decision.

    Oh hello. Have Manchester United got away with one here?

    Cameron Byrne-Hughes dives at the feet of Floyd Samba to smother the ball but I'm not sure how much of the ball he actually got.

    A corner is the decision but City might feel aggrieved at that.

    And away we go with the second half.

    All to play for.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:02 BST

    Indeed, Junior Brown is on in place of the already-booked Rafe McCormack at the break.

    It will be interesting to see when Darren Fletcher starts to look towards his substitutes bench.

    Noah Ajayi in particular has not really had an impact tonight for Manchester United and I wonder if Junior Brown might get a call.

    Brown is the player who has missed out due to Amir Ibragimov's return to fitness.

    He has had an impact on this run already this season.

    Manchester City had a brilliant chance to go ahead through Teddie Lamb 10 minutes or so before Floyd Samba got the breakthrough.

    Well it took 40 minutes for this final to come alive but a couple of goals have certainly made things interesting.

    All square at the break.

    In the last meeting between the teams, Manchester City took the lead, then Manchester United hit back with three goals on their way to eventual victory.

    I mentioned about Jim Thwaites before. His crossing and ball striking is clear.

    Godwill Kukonki is an England youth player. He is very robust and a threat in the air, as he proved.

    What a reaction from Manchester United. City just don't do enough to stop the ball going into the box.

    This game has well and truly woke up.

    It was all a bit flat until that stunner from Floyd Samba and what a reaction from United to going behind.

    Chances are coming thick and fast now as Harrison Miles tries one from range but Cameron Byrne-Hughes.

    This final has come alive!

    United hit back immediately through Godwill Kukonki's towering header and we are all square.

    It comes in front of the travelling United supporters and Kukonki enjoyed celebrating that one.

    Godwill Kukonki (42 mins)

    Well that's some response!

    A glorious cross into the box from Jim Thwaites and Godwill Kukonki gets on the end of it to head into the back of the net.

    The Manchester City defender slipped and that allowed Kukonki to just nod into the bottom corner.

    Sensational free-kick from Floyd Samba, into the top corner and the United goalkeeper had no chance.

    Dad Chris will be very proud of that effort.

    Floyd Samba (40 mins)

    What a hit that is!

    Manchester City have a free-kick 22-yards out and Floyd Samba bends it directly into the top corner.

    A brilliant strike and City are ahead.
