After the surprising relegations of Arsenal and Tottenham, as well as the loss of Chelsea to City, a considerable part of the greats finished their way at a very early stage of the factory. Now, it can be said with certainty that another one will end its path following the meeting between the champion and her runner-up.
One big team that joined the round of 16 last night (Thursday) is Manchester United, who achieved an impressive 2:4 over Aston Villa and Unai Emery. All six goals were scored in the second half, and it was Villa who got on the board first with a goal by Ollie Watkins in the 48th minute. But the reaction of the Red Devils was extremely fast, and only a minute later it was Anthony Martial who made it 1:1.
In the 61st minute, Aston Villa took another lead, this time thanks to an own goal by Diogo Dalot. But from here, it was United’s night. Marcus Rashford (67), Bruno Fernandes (78) and Scott McTominay (90+1) determined the results of the game and got Eric Ten Haag the ticket to the round of 16 of the League Cup.
