Paul Pogba on target as Man United edge past Hull to EFL Cup final

Manchester United will meet Southampton in the final of the EFL Cup on Feb. 26 despite losing 2-1 to Hull City at the KCOM stadium, going through 3-2 on aggregate.

Jose Mourinho's men struggled to find their rhythm from the start, and trailed to a Tom Huddlestone penalty before Paul Pogba popped up with the away goal which calmed their nerves.

Oumar Niasse gave Hull late hope but they couldn't find a third goal to send the tie into extra-time, and United's 2-0 win at Old Trafford in the first leg proved key.

Sam Clucas had the first real chance of the match in the 12th minute, as his free kick from the edge of the area stung the gloves of David De Gea.
