After a traumatic night at Craven Cottage, Spurs have suffered their earliest Carabao Cup exit in over two decades. Tuesday night saw Tottenham suffer their first competitive loss of the Ange Postecoglou era, falling 5-3 in a penalty shootout, with Davinson Sanchez's critically saved spot-kick by Marek Rodak.
After such a strong start to the Premier League season, Postecoglou will undoubtedly be questioned about his team selection. Nine changes were made despite the lack of European games, and the north Londoners missed a significant opportunity to end their 15-year trophy drought this season. The second-half goal by Richarlison, who headed in Ivan Perisic's cross to offset Micky van de Ven's first-half own goal—his second in four games for Tottenham—could serve as the season opener for the Brazilian.
