Tottenham vs Man Utd LIVE: Carabao Cup rating and updates as Son scores direct from nook to seal win

Fernandes flicks a cross with the outside of his right foot towards the back post but it’s a few inches in front of Eriksen, who can’t quite get there. United are looking reasonably threatening without quite creating a clear-cut chance.

Spurs will be happy enough if they get to half-time at 1-0 to the good.

Another Fernandes run over the top and this time it’s Antony who finds him with the long ball. He gets intot he box but his flick across is hacked away by Spurs.

Fernandes then regains the ball and tries his luck from outside the box but it’s just wide of the post, with Forster getting across to cover anyway.

Nearly an own goal from Ugarte! A mess of legs on the edge of the United box ends with Son able to flick the ball to Kulusevski. He cuts back and forth on Lindelof before putting the ball across the six-yard box and Ugarte is at full stretch to put the ball behind but only just wide of the post. He didn’t know where that was going when he lunged and Bayindir was rooted to the spot!

From the corner, Solanke tries to claim he’s brought down in the box but nothing doing there.

Lovely flick from Solanke to Son give the Spurs captain some space o drive forward. The ball is worked out wide to the right but Dalot tackles Kulusevski and clears the danger.

Porro then tries a long raking through-ball to Son but it runs a little too far and Bayindir is able to race off his line and claim the ball

Spurs get themselves into a bit of a hole defensively as Spence is suddenly having to dribble past men by own corner flag before backheeling the ball to a teammate. United claim the ball about 30 yards out but the cross is easy to deal with.

Spurs won’t want to be messing about like that too much though.

Here’s how Spurs went 1-0 up as Dominic Solanke continued his good recent record against Man Utd.

Mazraoui now joins Sarr in the book as lunges in and catches Spence as they go for a 50-50 ball hat the Spurs man reaches first. Clear yellow card.

Spurs go short from the free-kick and suddenly Kulusevski rolls past Fernandes, striking thr ball goalwards but Bayindir makes a decent stop at his near post with his leg. There was some power behind that shot but the goalkeeper was equal to it.

After that Sarr booking, Eriksen lines up the free-kick on the left. He curls it in right-footed and actually goes for goal but it lands on the top of the net, just over the bar. Forster looked unruffled and saw it over, in fairness.

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
