A third admitted: “Great tackle by the air there to be fair.”

Spurs fans, however, did not see the funny side, considering they were knocked out thanks to Iliman Ndiaye’s solo effort 11 minutes from full-time.

One fan slammed Sanchez, saying: “How this guy has lasted as long as he has at the club is scandalous.”

With a second asking: “How is he still at the club?”

A third described him as: “Like a toddler who can just fall over for no reason at all.”

One fan remarked: “Didn’t know we hire comedians,” with another fan responding by saying: “We don’t, we hire clowns.”

Following the victory over Spurs, the Blades will face fellow Championship side Blackburn in the hopes of landing a semi-final spot at Wembley.

Indeed, four of the teams left in the competition are outside of the Premier League, the first time this has happened since 2007-08.

Elsewhere, League Two side Grimsby will face Brighton, and be hoping for a repeat of their visit to Southampton.

Manchester United completed a late comeback against West Ham to progress into the quarter-final where they will host Fulham.

Meanwhile, serial winners Manchester City will host Burnley.
