Last night brought us the first two of four League Cup Quarter Finals, and by was there a shocking result. As Arsenal comfortably made their way past Wigan as expected, Manchester United got a rude awakening at Upton Park.
There have been signs for a little optimism for West Ham in recent weeks. A Premier League victory over Wigan last weekend brought them closer to escaping the league's drop zone, but last night's result will have boosted confidence no end. On a snowy evening in East London, it finished West Ham 4 Manchester United 0.
Jonathan Spector scored his first and second ever goals in English football, against his old club, to have the Hammers in a brilliant lead. Having been involved in the first two, Victor Obinna then set up Carlton Cole for a third. The English striker then scored his second, to wrap up a stunning win for West Ham, moving them into the semi-finals.
Arsenal were far from their best at home against Wigan, but did enough to get through. An Alcaraz own goal had the Gunners 1-0 up at the break, before Bendtner added a second. Arsenal join West Ham in the last four.
Tonight's quarter-finals see a Midlands derby between Birmingham City and Aston Villa, and the only remaining Championship side in the competition, Ipswich Town face West Brom.
