Tottenham overcomes Manchester United after a crazy match and reaches the last four

After the qualifications of Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle, Tottenham and Manchester United were fighting this evening for the last ticket to the semi-finals of the League Cup in England. Without Marcus Rashford, deprived of a meeting after confirming his desire to leave, Leny Yoro’s Red Devils had a terrible first hour in London. Solanke started the Spurs festival (1-0, 15th), followed after returning from the locker room by a goal from Kulusevski (2-0, 46th) and a double from the former Bournemouth striker (3-0, 54th). The triple change orchestrated by Ruben Amorim (Diallo, Zirkzee and Mainoo against Antony, Hojlund and Erkisen) just before the hour mark (56th) and the errors of Fraser Forster completely restarted the end of the match.

Author of a bad recovery in his six meters, the goalkeeper offered Bruno Fernandes plenty of time to serve Zirkzee (3-1, 3rd). A few moments later, the veteran was slow to clear Diallo’s pressure, who managed to tackle the goalkeeper’s restart in the goal (3-2, 70th). MU pushed, had the opportunities to come back (Mazraoui 74th, Fernandes 81st, Diallo 84th) without managing to make them happen against Spurs in total mental bankruptcy. It took a move from captain Son to put his team back in the match. The Korean scored a direct corner, helped by Bayindir’s hand fault, himself hampered by Bergvall (4-2, 89th). The Red Devils still believed in it until the end after this corner from Diallo transformed by the head of Evans (4-3, 90th + 4). But it is Tottenham who will see the last four at the end of this crazy match.
