Spurs knock Man City out of Carabao Cup; Man Utd, Arsenal through

Tottenham Hotspur have advanced to the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup at the expense of eight-time winners Manchester City.

Spurs saw off the Pep Guardiola side 2-1 at the London stadium on Wednesday night, with goals from Timo Werner and Pape Sarr sealing it for the hosts.

Recall that Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou claimed recently he always wins silverware in his second season, and he now remains on course to fulfil his promise after an entertaining encounter.

Elsewhere, Manchester United thrashed Leicester City 5-2 to advance, in a game that saw Ruud van Nistelrooy begin his interim reign as manager of the Red Devils.
