Manchester City reached the FA Cup Final for the first time in 30 years with victory over derby rivals Manchester United at Wembley.
Yaya Toure demonstrated power and poise to take advantage of Michael Carrick's mistake to score after 52 minutes and set up another Wembley date against either Bolton Wanderers or Stoke City in May.
United controlled the first half-hour and Dimitar Berbatov - in for the suspended Wayne Rooney - missed two golden chances in the space of seconds early on.
And United, who had Paul Scholes sent off late on for a wild challenge on Pablo Zabaleta, paid the price as City finally gathered momentum to end as deserved winners and sabotage Sir Alex Ferguson's hopes of repeating the historic treble-winning season of 1999.
City threatened through Mario Balotelli, Joleon Lescott and Vincent Kompany before Toure made the breakthrough, with United's only serious second-half response a deflected free-kick from Nani that keeper Joe Hart touched on to the bar.
It was a remarkable turnaround in fortunes and form for City and boss Roberto Mancini, who responded to an abject showing in the 3-0 defeat at Liverpool on Monday by insisting they would reach the FA Cup final and also next season's Champions League.
He fulfilled the first part of his bold promise in style and now City and Mancini can focus their attentions fully on finishing ahead of Tottenham in the fight for a place in the Premier League's top four.
Balotelli was involved in an angry flare-up with Rio Ferdinand and Anderson at the final whistle after jubilantly brandishing his badge in the direction of United's fans, but nothing could take the edge off the wild celebrations from the City supporters who have waited so long to step out of the shadow of their illustrious neighbours.
Both sides were robbed of their most influential players, but ultimately City coped with the loss of injured Carlos Tevez better than United handled the gap left by Rooney - they now have a month to relish their return to the great showpiece after a lengthy absence following their loss to Tottenham in a replay in 1981.
In Rooney's absence, Ferguson turned to Berbatov and the Bulgarian twice squandered opportunities to transform United's early domination into an advantage.

Mancini also said they had no chance to win the Premier League last year, it's just mind games.

You know considering how much of a bashing Liverpool fans get from United fans for clinging on to their history, United fans do love bringing up the past.

Wonderful to see a cowardly, studs-first tackle punished with a sending off. Stay on your feet and tackle like a man, you snivelling wretch. Then again, asking a soccer player to tackle like a man IS bit much, I guess.

In a way yes, but overall United played bad that whole season; that and the Everton loss was equally stupid. This is a cup final, where Mancinis future lies; and he fucked it up

May I remind you that Wigan beat United last seasion, resulting in United giving away the title?

That's not really anything ground breaking in management; considering the quality he has at his disposal. His sacking to come will just show how bad he is. Pretty much giving the title over for free even though he has a clearly better team. And today was pretty funny, underestimating Wigan shows how bad he is. If Fergie was in charge of City; there is no way United with non-functioning wingers and a lack of a midfield would win the title.
