Relive all of the drama from the London derby

Carabao Cup match preview: Tottenham v Chelsea

Tottenham Hotspur gained a slender advantage in their League Cup semi-final against London rivals Chelsea as Harry Kane's penalty earned them a 1-0 win in the first leg at Wembley on Tuesday.

Kane's 26th-minute spot kick, his 160th goal for the club, means Mauricio Pochettino's side will be slight favourites to reach the final although there is plenty of work still to do.

The only goal of the evening arrived in unusual circumstances with referee Michael Oliver eventually awarding a penalty with the help of VAR after Spurs skipper Kane was adjudged to have been marginally onside before being taken out by Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Key fact

Ten minutes until kick-off under the lights at Wembley.

Speaking ahead of the game, Mauricio Pochettino has spoken of his desire to stay at Spurs for 20 years, and emulate Arsene Wenger in the process:

A huge night for a player with huge potential. With so much potentially going on behind-the-scenes, how will Callum Hudson-Odoi go on the pitch this evening?

Kick-off at Wembley.

Danny Rose shows energy in the opening forays, first a lovely skip inside a Chelsea player to work a bit of space and then rather chopping down Cesar Azpilicueta chasing up to the corner flag.

Chelsea now get some quick interplay going, though lose the ball and a misplaced Paulo Gazzaniga pass will give the visitors a throw.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has begun on the right where he impressed in the FA Cup. Willian on the left.

A clipped long ball from Dele Alli is beautifully placed by Heung-Min Son can't quite latch on to it, tangling with Andreas Christensen. Son appeals, but there is no clear foul there.

Acrobatic!

Heung-Min Son again finds space to charge into down the right, and when the ball is worked back out to Kieran Trippier, the right-back crosses.

It is behind Harry Kane, who opts for the overhead kick attempt. He connects with it well, but not well enough to beat Kepa Arrizabalaga, who collects moving to his right.

6 minutes

Callum Hudson-Odoi picks the ball up in space down the right for the first time and faces up to Danny Rose.

Hudson-Odoi shoots when Rose offers him the opportunity to do so, but his low effort is rather tame and easily saved by Paulo Gazzaniga.

8 minutes

Danny Rose has begun with real forward thrust from left-back, though Hudson-Odoi is tracking him well so far.

Both teams will be pleased with their starts. Plenty of competent possession football already.
