Chelsea booked their place in the Carabao Cup final after beating Tottenham in a penalty shoot-out at Stamford Bridge.NGolo Kante and Eden Hazard put the Blues 2-1 up on aggregate before Fernando Llorente forced penalties.Eric Dier and Lucas Moura missed for the north Londoners and the home side were perfect from the spot to set up a date with Manchester City in the final next month.
3Chelsea:
Kepa Arrizabalaga: No chance with Llorentes close-range header. Saved very well from Moura at the key time in the shoot-out. 6Cesar Azpilicueta: An assured performance as ever from the captain and blasted home perfect penalty. 6Antonio Rudiger: Some timely headers but was caught out with Spurs long-balls in the second half. 6David Luiz: Overcame early leg injury to impose himself but Spurs pushed him back in second half. Settled the penalties with powerful strike to send Chelsea into the final. 7Emerson Palmieri: Got up and down from left-back well. 6NGolo Kante: Sparked the second-leg with a fierce drive from range and was good throughout. 7Jorginho: Booked for nasty challenge on Rose and again didnt look at his best but superb from the spot. 6
3Tottenham:
Paulo Gazzaniga: Produced some superb long-range passes and did well.No chance with either goal or in the shoot-out. 6Serge Aurier: A surprisingly subdued evening and was caught out of position at times. 5Toby Alderweireld: Had chances in attack but Spurs would have wanted him more solid at the back. 6Jan Vertonghen: Wont be happy with Chelseas opener but was good from then on. 6Ben Davies: Off early after suffering an apparent groin injury. 5Eric Dier: One or two early clashes before settling into the tie. Fired penalty high into the crowd. 5Harry Winks: Defended well but was left behind by Hazard at times. 5Moussa Sissoko: Still returning to full fitness so couldnt use his normal powerful runs and looked a step behind before going off injured. 5Christian Eriksen: Gave job of keeping Jorginho off the ball and did it well. Showed his creativity in flashes. Scored opening penalty. 7
