Arsenal 2-0 Wigan Athletic (Alcaraz Own goal, Nicklas Bendtner)
Wigan’s disappointing away form this season continued as the Latics failed to pose any major challenge to Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal in the quarterfinals of the Carling Cup on November 30, 2010.
Arsenal should be now considered favourites to win the Carling Cup, especially after the shock exit of holders Man United at the hands of West Ham.
West Ham 4-0 Manchester United ( Jonathan Spector*2, Carlton Cole*2)
West Ham United booked their spot in the semifinals of the Carling Cup for the first time in twenty years with a stunning 4-0 win over Manchester United in the quarterfinals. A first half brace from former Red Devils player Jonathan Spector, plus a second half brace from Carlton Cole, gave West Ham a resounding 4-0 win.
Barcelona 5-0 Real Madrid ( Xavi, Pedro, David Villa*2, Jeffren)
Real Madrid were humiliated in the El Clasico on November 29, 2010 as Barcelona thrashed them 5-0 at the Nou Camp. The Spanish Prime Minister had predicted a 4-2 for Barcelona, but the Catalans did even better as they thrashed Los Blancos 5-0.
It was billed as a Messi vs Ronaldo game, and Messi clearly won this one.
Sergio Ramos also got sent off for Real Madrid.
