After facing criticism for instances of diving and poor form on the field, Ashley Young hit back at his doubters by delivering a stunning second-half goal as Manchester United prevailed in their Capital One Cup quarter-final clash against Stoke City.
Very happy with my goal but the main thing was to get into the next round. Great goal by Pat, definitely a right foot swinger!!! Ha!!

Unlucky for Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic who had the difficult challenge of keeping out the Red Devils.
Tough loss for the team tonight. We had a decent run, we move on to the next game. #potternation

It's been a tough week for Tottenham and their misfortunate extended beyond Andre Villas-Boas' reign as Spurs went down 2-1 to West Ham at home in the Capital One Cup. Stand-in skipper Kyle Walker reminds his teammates that this is a time of unity.
Proud to lead the team out but disappointed about the result. We all need to stick together cause there's light at the end of the tunnel
