Everton vs Man United
Ole Gunner Solskajer's men advanced into the EFL Cup semi-finals after defeating Carlos Ancelotti's Everton last night. Despite wasting numerous opportunities during the early stages of the game, Manchester United managed to advance to the semi-final stage of the EFL Cup. Edinson Cavani was joined by Anthony Martial as the duo got on the scoresheet for the visitors against Everton.
The match was likely to go into penalties but Cavani's 88th-minute strike helped Manchester United play out the ending stages of the match with ease. Martial also scored his goal in what was the last kick of the match as Everton goalkeeper Robin Olsen let 2 goals slide resulting in Everton being knocked out.
Tottenham vs Stoke
Tottenham Hotspur booked a semi-final slot for themselves after registering a comfortable 3-1 win over Stoke City. Gareth Bale opened up the scoring in the match as his feather touch on Harry Winks' cross ended with the ball inside the net at the 22nd-minute. Bale netted his third goal in the season as the Welsh forward returned to Tottenham on loan from Spanish giants Real Madrid. Second half strikes from Ben Davies and Harry Kane were enough to knock championship side Stoke City out of the tournament.
Spurs last won the EFL Cup back in 2008 when they registered a 2-1 win against Chelsea in the finals and will be expected former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho who is now the head coach of Tottenham to help them win some silverware this season.
