Tigers tear Cats asunder

Hull City 3 Sunderland 0

Hull will face League One Sheffield United in only their second appearance in the last four, and it will be Steve Bruce’s first as manager.

When Sone Aluko saw his penaty saved 10 minutes before the end of an evenly contested first half, the Black Cats might have suspected their luck was about to change against Hull but a second-half capitulation put paid to that.
