United and Arsenal roll on in League Cup

MANCHESTER United beat League Two Aldershot Town 3-0 in the League Cup fourth round on Tuesday to begin the road to recovery after its humiliating 1-6 defeat by Manchester City on Sunday. Nicely-crafted first-half goals by Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen underlined the visitors' dominance and Antonio Valencia's stunning strike on 48 minutes put the result beyond any doubt.

Manager Alex Ferguson was visibly relieved and will hope for a similar performance against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Arsenal withstood a late Bolton Wanderers onslaught to overcome its Premier League rival 2-1. Goals from Andrei Arshavin on 53 minutes and Park Chu-young (56) came in quick reply to Fabrice Muamba's 47th-minute opener.

In the two all-Championship matches, Cardiff saw off Burnley 1-0 and Crystal Palace beat division leader Southampton 2-0.
