Tottenham Hotspur Defeats Manchester City in Carabao Cup

Tottenham Hotspur secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, marking a significant bounce-back following their recent defeat to Crystal Palace. Dejan Kulusevski was instrumental, providing key assists for Timo Werner's opening goal and Pape Matar Sarr's stunning strike. Despite fielding a rotated side, City's quality posed challenges, but Spurs' defense held firm, allowing only one goal from Matheus Nunes before half-time. Manager Ange Postecoglou praised his team's resilience and growth, emphasizing the importance of this win against a formidable opponent. The victory propels Spurs into the quarter-finals, where they will face Manchester United, as they aim to end a 16-year trophy drought. However, the match was marred by an injury to defender Micky van de Ven.
