Man United slumps at home to Newcastle, West Ham knocks out Arsenal
The HinduManchester United was humbled 3-0 at home by Newcastle United in the League Cup fourth round as its dismal start to the season took a serious turn for the worse on Wednesday. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag looked shell-shocked as his team was booed off the pitch and the Dutchman is under intense pressure following the 3-0 home defeat by Manchester City on Sunday. In a repeat of this year’s final at Wembley which Manchester United won 2-0, Newcastle led 2-0 at halftime thanks to goals by Miguel Almiron and Lewis Hall before extending their lead through Joe Willock to ease into the quarterfinals. West Ham United knocked out Arsenal with a 3-1 victory thanks to goals from Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen and an own goal from defender Ben White at the London Stadium.
