Tottenham’s 4-3 victory vs. Manchester United in the EFL Cup on Thursday was full of bizarre moments. No instance was better than the Lisandro Martínez Son corner kick drama in the final minutes of the game.
With Spurs leading 3-2, the South Korean superstar was taking his time walking over to the corner flag for a set piece. Martínez, to the displeasure of the home crowd, went over and told Son to hurry up.
The United defender would instantly regret telling Son to get on with the corner kick as the Spurs forward then scored directly from the set piece.

Hilarious. Lisandro Martinez went over to yell at Son to take the corner quicker and then Son scores from it.
