Manchester United and Arsenal, two candidates for the English League Cup (Carabao Cup) championship in the 2023-24 season, had to bow out of the tournament after defeats in the fourth round.
Manchester United has a huge advantage when playing at home when welcoming Newcastle United. However, Coach Erik ten Hag and his team once again disappointed their fans.
The Dutch strategist made a change compared to the defeat in the Manchester derby by placing Sergio Reguilon, Casemiro, Alejandro Garnacho, Hannibal Mejbri, Antony and Anthony Martial at the start.
But these changes cannot help a mentally exhausted Red Devils quickly change against a not-so-weak opponent like Newcastle.
Manchester United tried to press high, causing Newcastle to encounter many difficulties, but that only happened for about 25 minutes before the home team had to concede a goal.
In the 28th minute, Tino Livramento stole the ball in his own half and ran straight into the center of Manchester United before assisting Miguel Almiron to finish the match and beat Andre Onana to open the score.

Less than 8 minutes later, Manchester United’s net shook for the second time after Lewis Hall’s shot in the penalty area.
Conceding two consecutive goals made Erik ten Hag’s team no longer have the spirit to play and having to concede more goals was inevitable.
In the 61st minute, when Sofyan Amrabat lost the ball in the midfield, Joe Willock had the opportunity to freely dribble the ball and accurately hit the far corner to hit the Red Devils’ net, sealing a 3-0 victory for the Magpies.
This victory brought Coach Eddie Howe and his team straight into the quarterfinals of the English League Cup this season. This result also helps the Magpies successfully “revenge” the loss to MU in the final of this tournament last year.
Meanwhile, this was Manchester United’s second consecutive defeat at Old Trafford. A few days ago, they lost with the same score to Manchester City in the Premier League.

Together with Manchester United, Arsenal also had to bitterly stop the game early when losing 1-3 on the away trip to West Ham United.
Arsenal is the team that is more appreciated because they are in better form with 3 wins in the last 4 matches, while West Ham lost 3 matches in a row.
However, everything in this match was completely opposite when West Ham took the initiative against Arsenal and scored an early goal after Ben White’s own goal in the 16th minute.
Not stopping there, in the second half, West Ham United continuously made Arsenal’s net vibrate after shots from Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen to lead 3-0 after 60 minutes of play.
Letting their opponents take the lead, Arsenal rallied in the remaining time, but it wasn’t until the 90+6 minute that they got an honorable goal from Martin Odegaard.
This defeat caused the London Gunners to sadly say goodbye to their dream of conquest League Cup in this season.
In contrast to MU and Arsenal, teams playing in the Premier League such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton or Fulham have all won the right to enter the quarterfinals.
Liverpool struggled to win 2-1 against AFC Bournemouth. Striker Darwin Nunez played the hero with a goal in the 70th minute to send The Kop to the quarterfinals.
Chelsea also registered their name in the quarter-finals after a gentle 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers thanks to goals from Benoit Badiashile and Raheem Sterling.
Meanwhile, Everton had an easy 3-0 victory over Burnley, and Fulham did not have too much difficulty defeating Ipswich Town 3-1.
Immediately after the end of round 4, the Organizing Committee English League Cup drew lots to divide the matches in the quarter-finals.
According to the draw results, the quarterfinals promise to be very attractive with pairs that are considered quite balanced.
Chelsea will face Newcastle United, a team that is “fierce” by eliminating Manchester City and disappearing Manchester United become a former king.
Liverpool will compete with West Ham United. Everton and Fulham face each other to win a ticket to the next round, while Port Vale meets Middlesbrough./.
