In a nail-biting encounter, Tottenham Hotspur edged out Manchester United with a stunning 4-3 victory at home, earning a coveted spot in the English League Cup semifinals.
The match ignited early as Dominic Solanke capitalized on a rebound from United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir in the 15th minute. Tottenham doubled their lead just before halftime when Dejan Kulusevski found the net following a defensive lapse by Lisandro Martinez.
Solanke struck again in the 54th minute, putting Spurs firmly in control at 3-0. However, Tottenham's stand-in goalkeeper Fraser Forster made two crucial errors, allowing substitutes Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo to ignite a comeback for Manchester United, narrowing the score to 3-2.
As United pushed hard for an equalizer, Tottenham showcased their resilience with a magnificent fourth goal in the 88th minute from Son Heung-min’s corner, sealing the win despite a late goal from Jonny Evans for United.
Now, Tottenham sets its sights on Premier League leaders Liverpool in the semifinals, aiming to secure their first trophy since 2008.
