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.

Half-time: Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

42 mins: No penalty! The replays that VAR sees are pretty clear that Rudiger fouled Hojbjerg but the contact came outside of the penalty area and after taking a couple of minutes to look at every angle they decide to overturn the penalty and award Spurs a free kick.

Giovani Lo Celso takes it for Tottenham. He goes for goal and hits Rudiger in the wall who manages to head the ball over his on goal and out for a corner.

Penalty to Tottenham!

Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

40 mins: This is a better shout from Spurs. Hojbjerg is played into space and tries to carry the ball into the Chelsea box. Rudiger has to slide in front of him to win the ball.

He seemingly does but also clips the Tottenham midfielder outside the box. Hojbjerg takes a couple of extra steps and then goes down in the box. It all happened so quickly that Andre Marriner points to the spot.

VAR is checking it though...

39 mins: Penalty shout! Chelsea give the ball away in the middle of the pitch and one pass up to Kane sees him drag the ball into the box. Rudiger comes across to tackle but holds his own ground and allows Kane to run into him. Kane loses control of the ball and falls over in the penalty area but the referee has a good look at the incident and waves for play to go on.

36 mins: Almost! Werner carries the ball down the left side for Chelsea and faces no resistance as he stops and looks for a teammate in the box. He finds Lukaku and chips the ball over to the striker who whips a head to meet the cross in the air. He doesn’t catch off of the ball though and his headed effort goes wide of the back post.

33 mins: Chance! Much better from Tottenham! They use the width of their wingbacks and send the ball over to Doherty on the left wing. He slides the ball into the box for Kane who shoots on the turn but has his effort blocked. The ball comes rolling out to Hojbjerg who guides a curling effort towards the far top corner but his shot is deflected behind for a corner.

Close! The corner is whipped into the middle of the area and Sanchez wins the initial ball and flicks it over to the back post. Kane is free and lunges at the dropping ball - a touch will knock it over the line - but it just evades him and bounces safely out of play.

Tottenham 0 - 1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

30 mins: Chelsea have been fairly relentless in getting the ball into Tottenham’s final third and Japhet Tanganga in particular is having a tough time keeping them out. He does okay to marshall the ball behind for a Chelsea corner and Harry Kane gets on the end of Mount’s delivery to head the ball out of the area.

The Blues recover the ball quickly though and Spurs are put once again on the back foot.
