CARABAO CUP SEMI FINAL ENDS TOTTENHAM 1 0 CHELSEA
Chelsea dominated possession and created more chances, but Harry Kane’s penalty gave Spurs the advantage at the halfway point of this semi-final.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Tottenham defender Danny Rose said: “It was a lot different to the game we played in the league. I didn’t play in that one but it looked comfortable for the boys.
“Tonight was hard work. It was a great team performance, everyone dug in and I think we deserved it in the end. We tried to get the second but it was one of those games and Chelsea played really well. Now, we take the lead into the reverse fixture in a couple of weeks.
“There is going to be a bit more pressure on them to come out and attack us now, but we are one of the best counter-attacking teams in the league so we are looking forward to it. We won’t go there and try to protect the lead, we will play our game.”
Tottenham captain Harry Kane on Sky Sports: “I played to the whistle and nicked it round the keeper, it was a clear penalty. VAR is there for a reason and they got it right.
“I’ll have to watch it back and see. I’m used to it after the World Cup, it’s a big part of football going forwards. From our point of view it doesn’t change much [waiting to hear if it was a penalty.]
