Of course it was.
Everton blew a 3-1 aggregate lead in the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg and they did so in controversial circumstances.

Fernandinho made it 1-1 on the night but, as Everton threatened to do the most un-Roberto Martinez thing ever and hang on, Man City rode their luck and were gifted a second goal when it should've been ruled out.
It wasn't.
De Bruyne rattled it in and Sergio Aguero scored a third and Man City set up a final clash with Liverpool on February 28.
The analysis all got very, very technical.
