English League Cup holders Manchester United crashed out in the quarterfinals of this year's competition as they were thrashed 4-0 at struggling West Ham on Tuesday night.
Former United player Jonathan Spector struck twice in the first half to give the Hammers the upper hand with Carlton Cole grabbing a second half double to seal victory for the English Premier League's bottom side.
United were denied a seventh-minute lead by the woodwork with Robert Green showing sharp reflexes to push Gabriel Obertan's shot onto the post, but that was as good as it got for Alex Ferguson's men, who have won the trophy for the past two seasons.
In Tuesday's other quarterfinal, also an all top-flight clash, Arsenal beat Wigan 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, securing a last four passage through an Antolin Alcaraz own-goal and a second-half strike from forward Nicklas Bendtner.
