Manchester United ended fourth-tier Colchester United´s fairytale run with a 3-0 win at Old Trafford, while Leicester survived a second half fightback from Everton to secure their place in the last four 4-2 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.Joao Cancelo´s first goal for the English champions opened the scoring midway through the first half, but City were momentarily stunned when Matty Taylor levelled a minute into the second half.
Sterling quickly restored the visitors´ lead as he tapped home a wonderful cross from Angelino.But City men were put under intense pressure for a spell and needed Claudio Bravo to make a fine save from Tariqe Fosu´s shot.Guardiola introduced Gabriel Jesus from the bench in a bid to kill the tie off and it was from the Brazilian´s cross that Sterling tapped home his second 20 minutes from time.
Rashford was also the creator of United´s other two goals as Ryan Jackson turned a cross into his own net before Anthony Martial stretched to convert at the back post.Leicester travel to City in the Premier League on Saturday, four points ahead of the champions in second place.And the Foxes will also have a semi-final to look forward to in the new year as they held their nerve from the spot after blowing a comfortable lead.
James Maddison and Jonny Evans struck in five first half minutes to give the visitors a 2-0 half-time lead.
