Tottenham vs Man Utd LIVE: Carabao Cup rating and updates as Solanke give Spurs lead

Better from United as Fernandes slips he ball wide to Dalot and he cuts the ball back to Eriksen on the edge of the area. First-time shot from the Dane is fired goalwards but Bissouma gets in front of Forster to block the ball away.

Sarr then becomes the first man booked as he clatters Fernandes in the calf as he scampers back.

Another Eriksen ball over the top gives Fernandes something to chase as he drifts infield and it looks like he might get there first but Porro recovers and outmuscles the Portuguese, allowing Forster to smother.

Spurs aren’t really picking up Fernandes’s runs so far

That will be frustrating for Man Utd but Spurs will gleefully take the gift. How will Amorim’s men respond?

Free-kick in a decent position for Spurs – about 30 yards out, towards the left of the box. They play it short and eventually it falls to Porro who hammers a shot at goal and it’s pushed away by Bayindir but it’s straight into the danger zone, Dominic Solanke is following up and clips in the rebound.

It’s not great by Bayindir if I’m honest – you’ve got to push that wide/away. Anywhere that is not just straight back in front of you… Although the United defence were stationary and not exactly following up that rebound themselves.

Eriksen with a clever touch to Fernandes who slides in Hojlund. The striker gets into the box and looks to have a chance to get his shot away but takes an extra touch and is eventually swarmed by a couple of Spurs defenders who scramble the ball away.

Fernades then clips the ball across goal in the corridor of uncertainty but Hojlund isn’t attacking the space in the six-yard box and it runs harmlessly through.

At the other end, Son cuts inside on to his right foot but the attempted curler into the corner is miles wide.

Lovely cross-field passs from Eriksen to Dalot who then wins a corner for United. Eriksen whips it in towards the near post and Bissouma heads it up in the air but Martinez’s first-time effort is well over the top.

Eriksen then wins a free-kick in his own half with good strength to protect the ball. The Dane has started this match well.

Fernandes penalised for a high foot that catches Porro in the back of the head – the Portuguese doesn’t look impressed with that decision.

Man Utd counter as Eriksen strides forward and feeds Hojlund but Spurs swarm back and avert the danger.

Spurs showing good tempo in possession early on. Spence marauds down the left flank but eventually runs too aggressively into Yoro after a heavy touch and gives away the free-kick.

Bissouma then robs aAntony in possession again, for the second time in a couple of minutes – inauspicious start by the Brazilian

Nice early touch by Yoro who spins Son and plays the ball upfield. But Bissouma nicks the ball off Antony and Spurs counter with lightning pace. Kulusevski fires a dangerous-looking ball across the box but it’s defended well and cleared.

The Spurs fans signal their approval though.

And we’re underway in north London. Both these teams would dearly love to win a trophy this season and the Carabao Cup seems as good a bet as any.

Remember, there’s no VAR tonight and no extra-time if we’re level after 90 minutes – it would be straight to penalties.
