Tottenham Hotspur’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Chelsea couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start. In his return to Stamford Bridge, Antonio Conte’s side endured a horror first half, conceding two calamitous goals to trail 2-0 at the break.
Tottenham’s semi-final couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start, being on the end of a dominant Chelsea first half on Antonio Conte’s return to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea had 10 shots to Spurs’ zero, produced 1.44 xG, and completed 1-1 passes in the final third, compared to Conte’s side’s 35.
In the fifth minute, the visitors were pressed into a mistake, leading to Kai Havertz stroking a shot past Hugo Lloris, which Davinson Sanchez touched home last.
But 10 minutes before the break, Tottenham’s first half reached a new low as Japhet Tanganga and Ben Davies combined to produce a comedic own goal.
