Tottenham and Southampton dropped out of the English Cup to lower division teams.

Last week, Manchester United knocked Barcelona out of the Europa League and won the first title as a manager Erik ten Hag in the season.
Against that background, it was expected that the intensity of the game would inevitably decrease in Wednesday’s cup battle.
The home team’s phlegmatic performance culminated in the 54th minute, when the red shirts already stopped playing, assuming that the ball had gone out of bounds. The guests Tomáš Souček didn’t hesitate. He continued his run and passed the game tool To Saïd Benrahmawho superbly bombed it into the top corner.
Casemiro the equalizer was still disallowed for offside, but the pressure increased with a Hammers goal. Nayef Aguerd accidentally headed the ball into his own hands in the 79th minute, after which it was no longer tense whether the winning goal would be scored in regular time.

And it was born. Alejandro Garnachon a nice shot went into the back corner when the clock was already showing the 90th minute of the game. Then came the seal on the place in the quarter-finals of the Sinetti Cup Fred’s finishing with a 3–1 goal.
Spurs and Soton out
Instead, the paths of Tottenham and Southampton stood up with embarrassing losses to lower division teams. Spurs lost to Sheffield United playing in the Championship Iliman Ndiayen with a goal in the 79th minute.
The Senegalese striker was given way too much space in the Tottenham defensive area and he didn’t waste his opportunity. The goalkeeper was surprised by the low move by Fraser Forster.
Tottenham’s defeat is still somehow to be explained, but Southampton’s plunging spiral gained more momentum when it lost to Grimsby Town, who plays in England’s fourth highest league level (League Two), on its home field.
The historic 2-1 away victory of the “Seamen” was rewarded with a quarter-final match against Brighton. The other matches in the round are: Manchester City–Burnley, Manchester United–Fulham and Sheffield United–Blackburn Rovers.
