“In My Second Season, I Win” – Ange Postecoglou’s Hope Of Winning A Trophy with Spurs Revived as Spurs Knock City Out Of League Cup, Face Easy Opponents In The QF

London Club Tottenham Hotspur edged past league title winners Manchester City with a 2-1 victory, thanks to goals from Timo Werner and Pape Matar Sarr, setting the stage for an exciting quarter-final against a recovering Manchester United who sacked their a Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag after two years with the club.

Under the guidance of interim manager and club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy, Manchester United delivered a resounding 5-2 triumph over Leicester City in the League Cup fourth round, providing a much-needed boost to a club recovering from the departure of the most previous coach Erik ten Hag.

The forthcoming clash will see Spurs hosting United, while Arsenal face Crystal Palace, Newcastle take on Brentford, and Liverpool travel to Southampton in the quarter finals of the Carabao cup.

Van Nistelrooy’s commanding win in his first match at the helm has renewed hope among United supporters after a poor start to the Premier League season so far.

“I am here to help, to serve and give my everything for the club, that will never change,” Van Nistelrooy stated, clearly determined to make his mark during this transitional phase at the club.

The former United striker watched as Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro each netted twice for the red devils, demonstrating that the squad still possesses significant attacking prowess despite recent struggles in front of goals.

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham displayed a lively and dynamic performance, keeping alive the manager’s ambition of securing silverware in his second season.

Spurs approached the game with confidence, and City, who made seven changes from their weekend victory over Southampton, struggled tom cope with the early pressure. Dejan Kulusevski threaded a precise pass to Werner, who struck first, firing home his first goal of the campaign.

The hosts doubled their lead in the 25th minute when Sarr, stationed just outside the area following a cleverly executed corner, curled a beautiful shot past the City goalkeeper, finding the inside of the right post.

Despite their dominance, Spurs allowed City a glimmer of hope just before the interval, as Matheus Nunes netted with a header from a cross by Savinho, marking City’s first shot on target in the game.

City’s challenges intensified when Savinho sustained an injury and had to be carried off in the 62nd minute.

This setback further disrupted Guardiola’s plans and momentum. Nevertheless, City pressed on and nearly equalized late in the game.

Nico O’Reilly came close, but Spurs’ substitute Yves Bissouma heroically cleared the ball off the line to preserve the lead.

“It’s a cup tie played against a formidable opponent, I thought we did well for the most part,” Postecoglou remarked to Sky Sports. “We didn’t allow too many clear-cut chances; we could have put the game away, but City are always going to push you.”

Elsewhere in the competition, Liverpool triumphed over Brighton 3-2, with Cody Gakpo scoring twice, while Arsenal advanced with a convincing 3-0 win at Preston, eliminating the last non-Premier League club from the tournament.

Crystal Palace secured a narrow 2-1 victory at Aston Villa, and Newcastle United cruised past Chelsea with a 2-0 home win, aided by an own goal from Axel Disasi.

As the quarter-finals approach, the excitement builds for Spurs and United, both eager to solidify their ambitions and reclaim glory in this season’s League Cup.
