Tottenham reach the semi-finals for the first time under Ange Postecoglou
Manchester United did not give up and pulled one back again in the 94th minute through Jonny Evans' brilliant header from a corner kick, but Ruben Amorim's side ran out of time for another potential comeback.
Tottenham qualify for the first semi-final of the Ange Posekoglou era, and are set to face one of Arsenal, Liverpool or Newcastle United.
Although they are not the best in the Premier League, they have shown promise in the domestic competition and are now one win away from reaching Wembley.
