LONDON: West Ham completed a stunning turnaround on Wednesday (Thurs­day in Manila), roaring back from two goals down against Tottenham Hotspur to reach the League Cup quarterfinals while Chelsea saw off the challenge of Everton. Spurs, who also made multiple changes, were quickly in control through an early goal from Moussa Sissoko, who strolled through the middle of the defense and stroked the ball past West Ham goalkeeper Adrian after a pass from Son Heung-Min. “We could not wait for the game to start and I would hope the Brighton game was a one-off,” said Bilic. Disappointed Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino said his side showed a lack of aggression to concede three goals in 15 minutes. West Ham and Chelsea join Arsenal, Bournemouth, Bristol City, Leicester City, Manchester United and Manchester City in the draw for the quarterfinals on Thursday.
