Ruben Amorim couldn't believe what he was seeing from his team during their match. It was a wild and error-strewn game, with both goalkeepers having a night to forget. However, it was Lisandro Martinez who received the most criticism, especially from Gary Neville, a former player and now a sports commentator. Neville accused the Argentina international of making a "wimpish" and "simply appalling" clearance that led to Tottenham's second goal.
The game started off poorly for Manchester United, with Dominic Solanke scoring the first goal for Tottenham. Martinez's attempt to clear a cross resulted in him flicking the ball towards Dejan Kulusevski, who didn't hesitate to score from inside the penalty area. Neville was not impressed with Martinez's play and also blamed goalkeeper Altay Bayindir for not handling a long-range shot properly, which ultimately led to Solanke's goal.
Neville didn't hold back in his criticism of Martinez, calling his clearance "appalling" and "wimpish." He also mentioned that the team's goalkeeper and defense could have done better in preventing both goals. The game continued to be chaotic, with Tottenham looking like they were in complete control after Solanke scored again to make it 3-0. However, their goalkeeper, Fraser Forster, made two costly mistakes that allowed Manchester United to make a comeback.
Forster's errors gave Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo the chance to score, bringing the score to 3-2 with 20 minutes left to play. It was a nervy time for Tottenham, but they managed to hold on to their lead and secure a spot in the semi-finals. However, there was also some bad news for Manchester United as Victor Lindelof had to be substituted due to an injury.
Neville mentioned that it must be frustrating for Lindelof to suffer an injury after working hard to get back on the field. He also sympathized with the defender, stating that he must feel hopeless and upset to have to leave the game early. Despite the chaotic and disappointing game for Manchester United, they did manage to score a third goal in the 94th minute, making for an edgy climax. However, it wasn't enough to secure a win over Tottenham.
In the end, it was a tough and unpredictable match for both teams. While Tottenham emerged as the victorious team, Manchester United will have to regroup and learn from their mistakes. Ruben Amorim and his team will have to work on improving their performance in future games to avoid similar disappointing results.
