Manchester United have been knocked out of the League Cup at the quarter-finals, losing Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in a game full of goals and errors - but some Manchester Evening News readers in our comments section are still happy with what they saw.

Spurs managed to put three past struggling backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir before United could respond in the second half. Two terrible Fraser Forster errors allowed Joshua Zirkzee and Amad to get on the scoresheet and spark hope of a comeback.

Son Heung-min struck in the 88th minute to seal the win for Spurs, with Jonny Evans' stoppage time goal coming too late. Winger Antony made a rare start but failed to impress, while Leny Yoro looked good after making his overdue competitive debut earlier this month.
