With Son Heung-min out with injury, English professional soccer team Tottenham defeated Manchester City to reach the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup (League Cup).

Tottenham defeated City 2-1 in the round of 16 of the 2024-2025 Carabao Cup today (Jan. 31) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, with Timo Werner scoring the opening goal and Pape Sarr adding the winner.

The injured Heung-min Son was not named in the starting lineup as announced by Postecoglou in the pre-match press conference, but the South Korean was on the field in plain clothes to cheer on his teammates in the victory.

With City fielding a lineup full of young players who hadn't seen much playing time, the first-teamers took the lead in the first five minutes through a Timo Werner goal.

In the 25th minute, 토토사이트 Pape added to the lead when he finished with a powerful right-footed strike after being played through by Krusevski.

City pulled one back with a half-volley from Mateusz Núñez just before halftime, but Tottenham held on for a one-goal lead and eventually booked their place in the quarterfinals.

It was Tottenham's first win over City in four official matches, one year and eight months, since a 1-0 win in February 2023 in the regular season.

The post-match quarterfinal draw revealed that Spurs' next opponent will be Manchester United. The quarterfinals will take place on December 16, local time.
