Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, beat Manchester United 4-3 with Son Heung-min's winning goal in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) in 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 20th (Korea time). Tottenham will try to become the fifth champion in 17 years since winning the League Cup (then the Carling Cup) in the 2007-2008 season.
British media Daily Star said the Poster was accused of committing one of the most Tottenham-like moments of all time. He made two horror shows in seven minutes before grabbing his head. It was the worst of the worst,' he reported.
Tottenham combined Dominic Solanke in the 15th minute of the first half, Dejan Kulusevski in the 1st minute of the second half, and Solanke in the 9th minute of the second half to lead 3-0 at one point.
A variable has occurred. Tottenham were shaken by a series of mistakes by goalkeeper Foster. In the 18th minute of the second half, Tottenham's pass was cut off under pressure from the opponent's striker during the build-up process. The atmosphere subsided when Joshua Zirkjay, who took over the ball, scored a chase goal.
Foster's complacent play also served as an excuse for additional runs. In the 25th minute of the second half, Ahmad Diallo flooded in and tried to tackle Foster, who received a back pass. Foster's hastily kicked ball rather deflected off Diallo's foot and was sucked into the net. Tottenham quickly allowed a 3-2 chase. If it wasn't for Son Heung-min's 'Fantasy' corner kick direct score in the 43rd minute of the second half, the result of the game could not be guaranteed.

After the match, the British media Express gave Foster a rating of two points. It was the lowest point for both teams. The media made a great save until the nightmare began. However, he lost a point to Manchester United due to two big mistakes. The opponent's cross was not handled properly, so the game was 4-3.
Meanwhile, Tottenham faced Liverpool as a result of the semifinal draw. Liverpool boasts the most wins (10 times) in the League Cup. Arsenal face Newcastle. The home-and-away semi-finals are held in the first week of January 2025 and the first week of February. Tottenham will play the first game at home and move to Anfield for the second game.
