Well, well, well.
Manchester United, the holders of the Carabao Cup, will not be at Wembley to defend it later this season.
Having fallen behind early in the second half to Bristol City, many would’ve expected United to go on and win the game after Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s free-kick drew them level.
This, however, was not to be.
Despite substitute Romelu Lukaku forcing Luke Steele into a couple of good saves for the home side, Korey Smith slotted a dramatic late winner beyond Sergio Romero deep into stoppage time, setting up scenes of wild celebration at Ashton Gate.
Understandably, it wasn’t just supporters of Bristol City that were delighted by the late drama…
Within minutes of full-time, former Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva was quick to express his delight at the result via his Twitter account.
‘Get in Bristol City,’ he wrote, followed by three laughing face emojis and his ‘Unluckyyyyy’ catchphrase…
As you can probably imagine, the joke didn’t sit too well with United supporters…
