Tottenham Hotspur qualified for the semi-finals Carabao Cup Thursday evening at the expense of Manchester United, with a 4-3 victory in North London.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are now on a back-to-back win in all competitions after a previous run of five matches without a win, and are one step closer to ending a title drought that began in 2008.
But it was almost a disaster Tottenhamat one stage were leading 3-0, before conceding twice from mistakes to allow the visitors back into the game. A brace from Dominic Solanke and a goal from Dejan Kulusevskis led Tottenham to victory, but goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo succeeded in achieving victory after Fraser Forster’s shocking errors. Son Heung-min then scored a direct goal from a corner kick, before Tottenham conceded Jonny Evans’ third goal, but maintained the lead until the end.
to united And Ruben Amorim, the result and overall performance were disappointing, but it will serve to teach the new coach more about the inconsistent team he inherited only last month.
