Tottenham vs Chelsea LIVE: Carabao Cup result, final score and reaction tonight
Relive all the action from the semi-final second leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Chelsea booked their place in the Carabao Cup final with a 3-0 semi-final aggregate win over Tottenham, whose hopes of a comeback were denied by VAR misery.
Thomas Tuchel’s men did half the job in last week’s first leg at Stamford Bridge when they won 2-0 and Antonio Rudiger’s first-half goal in north London settled matters, setting up a Wembley date against either Liverpool or Arsenal next month.
They will get a chance to claim a sixth League Cup and give Tuchel the opportunity of winning a third trophy in just over 14 months in the job.
Spurs were well beaten over the course of the two games, but it could have been different had technology not ruled against them on three occasions in the second leg.
Referee Andre Marriner twice awarded penalties that were overturned while Harry Kane had a goal ruled out for offside as they missed out on a second successive appearance in the final.

90+2 mins: Harry Kane has had a word with the referee and the officials on the sidelines for an update. It seems as though the game is being restarted which is usually a good sign for the situation in the stands. Hopefully the person needing help is okay.

89 mins: Referee Andre Marriner doesn’t think it is necessary to take the players off the pitch but the game hasn’t restarted yet and there’s been no word about the situation in the stands.
The referee is waiting at the side of the pitch getting information from one of the other officials and the players are jogging about trying to keep warm.

86 mins: There is a fair bit of commotion in the stands behind Kepa Arrizabalaga’s goal and the game has paused whilst it gets dealt with. The Chelsea goalkeeper did his best to make the referee of the situation and several stewards have made their way over to that part of the ground.

83 mins: Tottenham are stay searching for a goal. They’ve got plenty of attacking players on the pitch now but it’s stll not working out for them. Substitute Oliver Skipp slides a pass into the right side of the box where Emerson Royal is waiting onside. He collects the ball and looks for Kane in the middle of the box but his cross doesn’t reach him as Malang Sarr blocks it and boots the ball clear.
Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)
80 mins: Chelsea win a corner deep in Tottenham’s half over on the left wing. Hakim Ziyech floats the ball into the box and a headed clearance sends the ball over to Jorginho. He boots it back at goal but scuffs his effort and fires it well wide of goal.
It’s his last act of the game as Ruben Loftus-Cheek comes on for the last 10 minutes.

77 mins: N’Golo Kante is getting a run out ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League match against Manchester City at the weekend. He replaces Mateo Kovacic and will give the Blues even more control in the middle of the pitch.
Azpilicueta swings a cross in from the right wing but can’t pick out Lukaku and Davies heads it clear for Spurs.

74 mins: For a 10-15 minute period Chelsea seemed to switch off and allow Tottenham more possession and more freedom going forward. Then came Harry Kane’s disallowed goal and they were given a reprieve that has woken them up. Thomas Tuchel’s introduction of another defender has given them back control of the ball and they’re working hard to keep it away from the Tottenham midfielders.

68 mins: Tottenham had just taken the front foot in the game. They’d forced a few saves out of Kepa and then created their best chance to score with Kane every so slightly offside. The Chelsea goalkeeper came so far off his line he was in front of the Tottenham captain when the ball was played.
