MADRID, 5 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Chelsea beat Tottenham this Wednesday (2-0) in the first leg of the semi-finals of the League Cup, the ‘Carabao Cup’, thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Ben Davies, own goal, both in the first part, thus putting the pass to the final of the English ‘ko’ tournament on track.
Thomas Tuchel’s men – who have not won this competition since 2015 – have put a lot of effort this season and soon made their intentions clear at Stamford Bridge. Five minutes later, with the assistance of Spanish Marcos Alonso, it was 1-0 for the ‘blues’ with a good shot from Havertz with his left foot.
The final 2-0 was the work of Ben Davies in own goal after a lateral free kick by Hakim Ziyech, which put an end to the hopes of the ‘spurs’ when only 34 minutes had elapsed into the game. Those of Antonio Conte improved in the second act, but could not change the electronic.
The second leg of the semifinals will be played at Tottenham’s home on 12 January. The winner of this tie will face in the final the winner of the other ‘semi’ that measures Arsenal and Liverpool from this Thursday.
