The team of Chelsea is the first finalist in this year’s tournament League Cup after eliminating Tottenham in the semi-finals. The Blues also won the rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a minimum of 0: 1 to eliminate the “spurs” with a total score of 0: 3 from both matches. Tottenham experienced a real “VAR” nightmare after the video assistant referee canceled two penalties awarded, as well as a goal for the “spurs”.
In the 12th minute Romelu Lukaku squandered a great chance for a goal, denied by the guard of the “spurs” Pierluigi Golini. Six minutes later, however, Chebsey found the result. After a cross from a corner Antonio Rüdiger rose above all and caught the ball with his head to send it into the net – 0: 1!
In the next few minutes, nothing interesting happened at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The home crowd cheered when, after 40 minutes, Chelsea’s charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day.
In the 56th minute, the referee awarded a penalty to Tottenham for a foul on goalkeeper Kepa Arisabalaga, but after a new intervention by VAR the penalty kick was canceled.
In the 64th minute Tottenham scored the ball in the door of Chelsea, Lucas Moura found Harry Kane, who scored on an empty net, but the goal was canceled by VAR due to an ambush, which nightmare for The “spurs” were full. During the match Ryan Sessegnon had a very good chance to score, but Kepa saved.
STARTING TEAMS:
Tottenham: Naked – Royal, Tanganga, Sanchez, Davis, Doherty, Hoybjerg, Winx, Lucas, Lo Celso, Kane
BEFORE THE MEETING:
Tottenham disappointed in the first semifinal match of “Stamford Bridge”, when they played an extremely weak first half and conceded two goals, and could collects more. In the second half, the Spurs improved their game, but that was not enough to reduce the gap before the rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Now Tottenham needs a much stronger game if he wants to deal with Chelsea’s tough squad and qualify for the League Cup final. Antonio Conte will not be able to rely on Hyun Min Son and Christian Romero while his colleague Thomas Tuchel is without Rhys James, Ben Chillwell, Edouard Mendy and Chaloba.
