Southampton knocked out by fourth division Grimsby
MADRID, 1 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Manchester United came from behind (3-1) to West Ham this Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals in the FA Cup, while Tottenham said goodbye with the 1-0 draw that they conceded against Sheffield United and Grimsby gave the bell by eliminating (1-2) to Southampton.
Those from Ten Hag lived another happy afternoon in their great moment of form and results, three days after being champions of the Carabao Cup. The ‘red devils’, who ended a six-year title drought there, gave the pass some suspense when Benrahma scored for the Londoners early in the second half.
However, Aguerd, through his own goal, equalized for the locals and Garnacho unleashed the euphoria at Old Trafford with the 2-1 draw at the last minute. United’s inertia still ended with Fred’s third in discount, to turn a scare into another party.
Meanwhile, a great goal from Iliman Ndiaye with 10 minutes remaining eliminated Tottenham from the oldest tournament in the world. The Spurs were not the strong and rhythmic team in the Premier, outclassed by a second division rival. The FA Cup bomb came this Wednesday from the hand of a Grimsby for the first time in the quarterfinals.
The team from League Two, the fourth English division, beat Southampton with a double from Holohan, who will be able to worry exclusively about saving the category as bottom of the Premier.
