Andy Carroll scored two goals to help Liverpool condemn Manchester City to the worst possible preparation for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final. A disastrous evening for the Blues that put their top-four hopes in the balance again was only made worse as Carlos Tevez suffered a hamstring injury that seems certain to rule him out of the Wembley showdown with old club Manchester United. None of this will bother Carroll. Signed as the replacement for Fernando Torres, the 22-year-old has got his name on the scoresheet before the Spaniard. In a superb all-round performance, he dominated City defender Vincent Kompany in a manner the Belgian has not experienced all season, lashed home a first in quite brilliant fashion after only 12 minutes and was credited with another when Aleksandar Kolarov's header bounced off the Geordie and into the net. Between those two, Dirk Kuyt also struck, leaving City beaten, bruised and wondering what fate has in store for them against their neighbours in six days' time.
