Conte will look at his former club with envy, with Tuchel’s squad packed full of talent.
While the tie was all but over before the second leg, Spurs lacked any spark off the bench. The Italian will undoubtedly learn from the experience, while Chelsea march on as their unbeaten run is now at 11 matches.
Chelsea book their place in the final of the EFL Cup after a commanding performance in the capital. The Blues took the lead through Rudiger inside the first half, with Gollini’s error allowing him to head home from a Mount corner.
Spurs did win a penalty before the first 45 minutes came to an end, but VAR officials decided Andre Marriner’s original decision was wrong after he ruled Rudiger had fouled Hojbjerg in the box.
He awarded a second penalty in the second half, but the officials sided with Chelsea for a second time after Kepa brought down Lucas Moura in the box by winning the ball.
Spurs’ bad luck continued as Kane’s goal was ruled out for offside, and their wait for a trophy goes on.
