Burton Albion 0 Manchester City 1 (0-10 agg): Holders coast through to clinch Wembley return

There was no repeat of the goal-heavy first leg but Manchester City are in the EFL Cup final after a 10-0 aggregate win over Burton Albion.

Manchester City completed the formalities of their EFL Cup semi-final against Burton Albion, a 1-0 second-leg win officially punching their ticket to Wembley.

Having scored nine without reply in the first meeting, Wednesday's match was little more than a dead rubber and City wrapped up a 10-0 aggregate triumph – two shy of the record for the biggest two-leg margin of victory in the competition's history.

Unsurprisingly, there was a pedestrian, almost pre-season friendly pace about the game, with Sergio Aguero making the first-half breakthrough against the League One side.
