League Cup Quarter Final draw
Man Utd vs Stoke
Premier League – Tottenham Hotspur (A)
Formation: 4-3-3 (counter)
Line-Up: David De Gea, Chris Smalling, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, Antonio Valencia, Michael Carrick, Nani, Javier Hernandez, Wayne Rooney, Federico Macheda
Subs Used: Rafael, Andre Ayew, Danny Welbeck
A thrilling match which ended 3-2 victory to the visitors.
Wayne Rooney gave Man Utd the lead in the 23rd min Emmanuel Adebayor then equalised for Tottenham in the 32nd min. Federico Macheda put Man Utd in front with a lovely chipped from the edge of the box in the 38th min.
A lack of concentration in defence allowed Adebayor to score his second goal and level the score once again in the 65th min. I decided to push the defensive line up and bring on Welbeck for Hernandez. Well it paid off when Wayne Rooney scored what proved to be the winning goal after a delightful cross from Welbeck.
I’m pleased with the result as it is very difficult to play away and to win against a good team like Tottenham is a bonus. A good fighting spirit by Man Utd players.
Man of the Match: Emmanuel Adebayor

Ferdinand extends Man Utd’s lead further with a good header in the 23rd min from Ayew’s indirect free-kick. Things got bad to worse for Wigan when Maniche earned himself an early shower for a two-footed challenge on Ayew.
