Ten Hag hits out at Carroll for Eriksen injury
Erik ten Hag has slammed Reading striker Andy Carroll for his reckless fouling against Manchester United, insisting it has no place in football.

Eriksen left Old Trafford on crutches and has been ruled out for three months with an ankle injury.

Newcastle held a one-goal lead heading into the second leg of their semi-final at St James' Park thanks to Joelinton's effort last week. Inside five minutes that advantage was doubled when Sean Longstaff slotted a right-footed effort underneath the dive of Gavin Bazunu.
Longstaff added his second 15 minutes later when he converted Miguel Almiron's cross to send the Newcastle fans into raptures. Less than 10 minutes later, Che Adams capitalised on a sloppy Magpies pass to give the Saints a glimmer of hope.
