MASON MOUNT missed the final spot kick as Tottenham beat Chelsea 5-4 on penalties to progress to the quarterfinals of the League Cup after a 1-1 draw Tuesday. Timo Werner’s first goal for Chelsea put Frank Lampard’s men in command against a much-changed Tottenham team playing the second of four games in eight days. Erik Lamela forced a shootout with an equalizer in the 83rd minute, finishing from close range after controlling a cross from debutant Sergio Reguilon. In the shootout, Chelsea’s Mount struck the post to miss the decisive fifth penalty after every other spot kick had been converted. Germany forward Werner scored his first goal for Chelsea in his fourth appearance, lashing the ball into the net from the edge of the area after receiving a cut-back from Cesar Azpilicueta. Chelsea’s new goalkeeper Edouard Mendy had a confident display in his first game since switching from Stade Rennes, making a good save to keep out a vicious shot from Spurs’ Spanish left back Reguilon in the second half. But Mendy was finally beaten in the 83rd minute when Reguilon turned in the box and found Lamela, who controlled the ball at the far post before netting from close range to force the shootout in which Tottenham prevailed. Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, got one over his former Chelsea player Frank Lampard, whose Derby County side beat a Manchester United team then coached by the Portuguese in a League Cup shootout in 2018. “We were ready to fight. I told the players before the penalties that they were magnificent in the second half, we made Chelsea look ordinary. The team waited for the right moment,” Mourinho said.(SD-Agencies) |
