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 had a good start. Tottenham took a 3-0 lead with consecutive goals from 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.
A variable has occurred. Tottenham were shaken by a series of mistakes by goalkeeper Fraser Forster. 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.

In the process, there was a situation where I couldn't laugh. It was when Son Heung-min walked to kick a corner. Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez approached Son Heung-min and spoke to him. At that time, Martinez reportedly cursed Son Heung-min in Spanish. Son responded with a fantastic score to Martinez's provocation. In soccer, scoring points directly from a corner kick is called 'Olimpico'. In a friendly match between Argentina and Uruguay in 1924, Argentine striker Cesareo Onsari's corner kick went straight to the net. Uruguay was the winner of the 1924 Paris Olympics, and it was derived from the Spanish term 'Goal Olympico'.
After the game, British media Express gave Son eight points. This media outlet became a threat every time he kicked the ball. We finally solved it. Another media outlet, Football London, gave Son seven points and said he scored a unique corner goal for Tottenham's fourth goal.
Meanwhile, Tottenham joined Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle in the semifinals with the victory. 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. In the semifinal draw, which was held immediately after the game, Tottenham met Liverpool, which 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 move from home to the first game and Anfield for the second game.
