Manchester City may not have won the second leg of their clash against Manchester United, but they managed to earn themselves a little bit of history in League Cup play.
The Citizens will be facing Aston Villa in the League Cup final, where they will be trying to replicate Lverpool's three-peat in the competition. But even if they don't win the title, their ability to make it to the final has already secured them a place in history, as they have joined Liverpool and Nottingham with their performance for the past three years.
