Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "We only had 72 hours to recover [from the 3-1 league win over Southampton] so it was a very good answer from all the squad.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez on Sky Sports: "It was a fantastic occasion, to be involved in the cup. We had to be mature and control the game and we did that really well, especially after the Bournemouth result. It showed we learnt a lot.
"It is a terrific feeling to get through to the semi-final and good memory for our football club.
"Middlesbrough had a team who are good on the ball but we defended really well. All in all, the two goals were exceptional pieces of quality. More than anything, after keeping a clean sheet from going 2-0 up was very pleasing."

Consolation.
Game over but something for Hull full-back Andrew Robertson to remember.
It's sublime. He collects the ball in his own half before scampering up the pitch ala Mo Farah, exchanging passes with a team-mate, finding himself in the Man City area and dinking a finish past Willy Caballero.
All too late though and City were caught napping.

Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, both on the scoresheet for Man City and Everton respectively.
Wonder what Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is thinking. Not good enough for the Blues, ripping it up for their sides now.
Into the last few minutes.

Getting ugly for Steve Bruce's Hull!
A sublime free-kick from Kevin de Bruyne, into the top corner of the net despite a Hull defender standing on the line.
The Belgian really is a joy to watch.
