Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Tottenham Hotspur’s failure to win against Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday evening.

Tottenham suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at the Wembley Stadium in London.

Spurs headed into the semi-final tie against Premier League rivals Chelsea as favourites, but they were on the back foot after just five minutes when Willian put the Blues ahead.

Harry Kane equalised for Tottenham on 18 minutes, only for William to put Chelsea back in front from the penalty spot on 43 minutes.

Dele Alli restored parity for Mauricio Pochettino’s side just seven minutes into the second half, but Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic subsequently scored to bag a 4-2 win for Chelsea.

Former Liverpool defender Carragher was following the match, and he has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the final result.

Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has told BBC Sport that the defeat to Chelsea will damage Tottenham.

Spurs are only four points behind leaders Chelsea in second place in the Premier League table at the moment.

“Tottenham had a big chance today,” Shearer told BBC Sport. “There was no Cahill, Costa or Hazard in the starting line-up. I think it will damage Spurs.”
