NO PENALTY

The penalty decision has been checked by VAR. No penalty – a Spurs free-kick has been awarded instead.

Penalty for SPURS

Penalty awarded to Tottenham. Hojbjerg is tripped by Rudiger outside the box and then appears to clip his own heels just inside it. VAR is checking it though.

Mountain for Spurs to climb

Spurs need *at least* three goals to even force extra time. Chelsea are 3-0 up on aggregate. Away goals don't count in competition anymore. #CFC #CarabaoCup

Gooaaaal Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea

Chelsea take the lead! Is it all over already? Antonio Rudiger heads in from a corner. Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea (0-3 agg)

Rudiger causing trouble!

A couple of early Chelsea chances…Rudiger’s long passes from deep are causing problems.

It is basic stuff, but enough to open up the Spurs defence twice in the last couple of minutes.

Kickoff!

We are underway! Can Spurs overturn the 2-0 deficit or will Chelsea stroll to the final? We would find out at the end of this game!

It is a feast of pure and unadulterated football as London shakes to the core with Tottenham taking on bitter rivals Chelsea in the return leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal.
