Tottenham Hotspur survived a furious comeback from Manchester United and reached the League Cup semi-finals on Thursday after a hard-fought draw, beating 4-3 at home.
Ange Postecoglou’s team faced weak United after a double by Dominic Solanke and a goal by Dejan Kulusevski, who led 3-0 after 54 minutes.
However, the home fans were left biting their nails when two terrible errors from goalkeeper Fraser Forster allowed substitutes Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo to give United hope.
There were still 20 minutes left when Diallo made it 3-2 and United came close to equalizing several times before Son Heung-min closed the scoring in bizarre fashion by fooling United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir directly after a corner kick.
Jonny Evans still had time to score United’s third goal in stoppage time, but Tottenham were relieved to hold on.
Tottenham is seeking its first trophy since 2008, when it won the English League Cup for the fourth time in history.
