Jose Mourinho's love affair with the League Cup continued as Spurs beat Chelsea on penalties to enter the next round of Carabao Cup.
The 4th round match of The Carabao Cup between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea went into the penalty shootout with Tottenham winning 5-4 on penalties. Mason Mount missed his spot kick as Spurs entered the Quarter Final of the League Cup.
Spurs made 9 changes to their starting XI that faced Newcastle United on Sunday with only Hugo Lloris and Eric Dier keeping their places in the team. Spanish full back Sergio Reguillon made his Spurs debut as Dele Alli was omitted from the squad again. Chelsea's new Goal-Keeper Edouard Mendy made his debut for the Blues. Both teams were looking to get back to winning ways after drawing their Premier League games on the weekend.
Chelsea started the game well and were rewarded in the 18th minute when Timo Werner opened his Chelsea account with a well taken goal from the edge of the box. Azpilicueta's cross was well received and finished emphatically through a crowd of Spurs players. This was Werner's first goal for the Blues after his move from RB Leipzig where he scored 95 times in 4 seasons.
Lamela and Gedson Fernandes had a chance to equalise for Spurs but their attack looked toothless in the first half that Chelsea dominated.
Spurs made a fast start to the second half as Sergio Reguillon's shot was palmed away byMendy. Harry Kane was introduced in the 70th minute as Spurs began to press for an equaliser.
Werner and Hudson-Odoi missed good chances to put the game beyond Spurs but missed their chances. Hudson Odoi skied his effort and Werner's low drive was saved by Lloris and they were left to rue their chances as Eric Lamela equalised in the 84th min, calmly finishing a Reguillon's cross to take the game into penalties.
Both the teams scored their first 4 penalties leaving it to Harry Kane and Mason Mount to finish the job. Kane calmly slotted the ball into the bottom. Mason Mount's spot kick hit the outside of the post and Spurs entered the quarter final of the Carabao Cup.
