Yakubu and Lescott on target
Johnstone’s Paint Trophy: MK Dons reach final
Eduardo faces nine-month lay-off
Boro appeal red card
Brown loaned to Brentford
Everton beat Manchester City 0-2 at the City of Manchester Stadium to climb to fourth place in the Premier League. Yakubu Aiyegbeni (30) and Joleon Lescott (38) were on the scoresheet for David Moyes’ men while City had Martin Petrov sent-off late on for kicking Leon Osman.
Milton Keynes Dons have reached the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final after beating Swansea City 5-4 on penalties at stadium mk. Dons won the first leg 0-1 at the Liberty Stadium but a Jason Scotland penalty levelled the scores in tonight’s second leg and with no further goals in normal time penalties were needed to separate the sides. Ironically it was Jason Scotland who had his spot-kick saved by former Swans goalkeeper Willy Gueret in the shootout. The Dons will face either Morecombe or Grimsby Town in the final at Wembley on March 30.
