The final scoreline of 4-3 Tottenham suggested Manchester United were close. They were not.
This pulsating Carabao Cup quarter-final tie swung this way and that, but with one constant. As soon as Dominic Solanke had opened the scoring on 15 minutes, Spurs were leading. And whatever freebies they gave away, they never let that lead go. They progressed, fairly. United crashed out, deservedly.
