Tottenham vs Man Utd stats
Here's how the first half looked between Tottenham and Manchester United.
Check it out:
Tom Barclay from Tottenham
Half-time and Ruben Amorim has it all to do here. It is only 1-0 thanks to Dominic Solanke’s opener.
But scoring goals has been a real issue for Manchester United this season, with just four other teams in the Premier League netting fewer than their paltry 21.
Still, this is a cup game and with Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs side, you know you are always going to get chances.
Amorim’s side are going to have to do it without Victor Lindelof though, who went off injured just before the break and replaced by veteran Jonny Evans.
HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd
That's half-time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Spurs ahead.
The North Londoners broke the deadlock with Dominic Solanke on 15 minutes.
Ange Postecoglou's side's hopes of a first trophy since 2008 are well and truly alive.
Victor Lindelof injured
Manchester United's injury hoodoo continues with Victor Lindelof hobbling off the pitch.
Lindelof walked straight down the tunnel with tears in his eyes.
The centre-back is replaced by Jonny Evans.
Tom Barclay from Tottenham
First blood has gone to Spurs here thanks to Dominic Solanke neatly following up a parried Pedro Porro blast.
Ange Postecoglou had asked Tottenham fans to create a buzzing atmosphere and they have been playing their part.
Though there were still some chants in the South Stand against chairman Daniel Levy, including the new ditty ‘I don’t care about Levy, he don’t care about me, all I care about is Kulusevski’.
United’s travelling supporters have also made their feelings known to their own persona non grata.
A banner reading ‘Excuses, ta ra Marcus’ has been unveiled in the direction of wantaway Marcus Rashford, who did not travel with Ruben Amorim’s squad.
Yellow balloons were released early on in the game too by some Spurs fans as part of the Bring Emily Home campaign.
It refers to British Tottenham fan Emily Damari who is still held hostage in Gaza since the October 7 attack last year.
