Man City and Everton crash out of English cup

There were two big shocks in England's Capital One Cup tonight as Aston Villa won 4-2 at Manchester City while Leeds held off late pressure to knock out Everton 2-1 and move into the fourth round.

Mario Balotelli gave a strong City side the lead after 27 minutes but Villa drew level thanks to an own goal by old boy Gareth Barry with little more than half an hour remaining.

Aleksandar Kolarov restored the hosts' lead five minutes later before Villa levelled after 70 minutes through Gabriel Agbonlahor.
