On Wednesday, Manchester United’s miserable start to the season took a significant turn for the worse when they were humiliated 3-0 at home by Newcastle United in the League Cup fourth round.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, was stunned when his team was jeered off the field. The Dutchman is under a lot of pressure after Manchester City defeated his club 3-0 at home on Sunday.
In a rematch of the Wembley final this year, which Manchester United won 2-0, goals from Miguel Almiron and Lewis Hall gave Newcastle a 2-0 lead at the break. Joe Willock then gave them an even bigger lead as they cruised into the quarterfinals.
After Tino Livramento won the ball and sent up Almiron to put the goal past goalkeeper Andre Onana in the 28th minute, Newcastle seized the lead.
Eight minutes later, Hall increased the advantage with a volley into the far corner following a shoddy clearance attempt. Just after the hour, Willock broke past the defence and tucked his shot into the bottom corner, adding to the suffering of the home crowd.
In all competitions, Manchester United has dropped eight of its last 15 games, which is its worst run since 1972.
At the London Stadium, goals from Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen, and defender Ben White’s own goal helped West Ham United defeat Arsenal 3-1.
In the ninetieth minute, Martin Odegaard managed to bring one back, but it was too little, too late for the visitors.
With goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, record nine-time winners Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 2-1. Nunez scored his third goal for the Reds in his previous three games.
Everton defeated Burnley 3-0, Fulham defeated Ipswich Town 3-1, and Chelsea defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-0.
The bottom-ranked team left is League One Port Vale, who defeated Mansfield Town 1-0 on Tuesday. Middlesbrough advanced to the round of eight as well, defeating Exeter City 3-2.
