**LONDON** – Tottenham Hotspur advanced to the League Cup quarterfinals after a 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Wednesday, while interim Manchester United manager Ruud van Nistelrooy enjoyed a winning start with a resounding 5-2 win over Leicester City.

Spurs’ goals came from Timo Werner, who scored his first goal of the season, and Pape Matar Sarr, who expertly curled in a shot from outside the penalty area. Manchester City pulled one back in stoppage time through Matheus Nunes but couldn’t find an equalizer.

Meanwhile, Manchester United’s win at Old Trafford was a welcome boost following the recent sacking of Erik ten Hag. Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro both scored twice, showcasing a revitalized midfield under the new interim manager.

“I am here to help, to serve and give my everything for the club,” Van Nistelrooy said after his successful debut.

Other notable results saw Liverpool beat Brighton 3-2 with Cody Gakpo scoring twice, Arsenal cruise past Preston North End 3-0, and Newcastle United secure a 2-0 victory over Chelsea thanks to goals from Alexander Isak and an Axel Disasi own goal.

The League Cup quarterfinals will see Tottenham host Manchester United, Arsenal face Crystal Palace, Newcastle play Brentford, and Liverpool travel to Southampton.
