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

Tuchel - Chelsea 'have no foot in the final' despite 2-0 lead over Spurs in EFL Cup

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.

Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

65 mins: NO GOAL! VAR is called on for the third time of the night and for the third time tonight Tottenham lose the decision. This time VAR checked whether Harry Kane was onside as the ball is played to him but he had just strayed off and the goal is disallowed.

GOAL! Tottenham 1 - 1 Chelsea (1-3 agg) - Kane, 63'⚽️

63 mins: Is this a lifeline for Tottenham?! Spurs win the ball high up the pitch and leave Chelsea scrambling to cover their lines. Kepa comes out to get the ball but it’s played past him into Kane on the right side of the box. Rudiger sprints back to the goalline but Kane guides it coolly past him and into the far bottom corner.

Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

60 mins: Emerson Royal comes forward on the right with the ball and wins a corner for Tottenham. Lo Celso swings the ball into the centre of the box but Kepa comes confidently out to claim the ball. It looks like he wants to catch it but doesn’t quite get to the ball and instead decides to punch it away.

Save! Spurs recover the ball and attack down the left with Doherty. He fires a cross deep into the box and picks out fellow full-back Royal. Royal powers a header at goal but Kepa leaps to his left and palms the ball wide of goal!

Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

59mins: No penalty! For the second time tonight Tottenham are denied a spot kick. It never looked right and was impressive work from Kepa Arrizabalaga. VAR didn’t take long at all to call Andre Marriner over the pitchside monitor. He takes a look at the replays and overturns his decision.

Penalty to Tottenham!

Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

57 mins: There’s a collison between Kepa Arrizabalaga and Lucas Moura in the box. Moura’s gone down and Andre Marriner points to the spot again.

Kane slips the ball into the area for Moura who’s first touch takes the ball away from him. Kepa comes flying off his line, wins the ball and then collides with Moura.

VAR is called into action again...

Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

54 mins: Chelsea are cruising towards the Carabao Cup final. They look very comfortable out there. There is no zip or urgency to Tottenham’s play when the get the ball and when Chelsea are in possession there doesn’t seem to be any desire to win it back as quickly as possible.

[12 January 2022 20:56 · Michael Jones]

Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

51 mins: Tanganga’s had a lot of work to do tonight to stop crosses fro reaching Lukaku. Malang Sarr whips one in from the wide left area and the Tottenham centre-back is up to the challenge again.

When Chelsea recover the ball it comes across to Mount on the right side. He carries the ball into the area and is clipped by Doherty. Mount stays on his feet but can’t shift the ball into a shooting position and is forced out to the wing.

Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

48 mins: Kovacic plays a one-two with Jorginho to work the ball through midfield. He then passes it out to Hudson-Odoi in space on the left and the wingback slots a cross towards the back post. Lukaku is hovering around and Ben Davies takes no chances electing to knock the ball behind for a corner.

Rudiger is the target of the set piece for Chelsea and once again beats the Tottenham defenders in the air. He gets a purposeful connection on the ball this time but still doesn’t head it cleanly and his effort sails over the crossbar.

Second half: Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

Kick off: No changes of personnel from either side as Tottenham kick off the second half. The give the ball away to Chelsea who work the ball up the left side and feed it into Lukaku. He spins into the box and takes the ball to the byline where Tanganga sticks close to him and forces the striker to run it out of play.
