Tottenham Hotspur are through to the Carabao Cup final after beating Brentford 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Spurs took the lead in the first half as Moussa Sissoko headed home Sergio Reguilon’s cross, but they then struggled to find a second goal.
Brentford striker Ivan Toney had an equaliser ruled out for offside, and Spurs took advantage as Son Heung-min raced clear to score.
Spurs are into the final against either Manchester City or Manchester United, with Jose Mourinho now in with a real shot of winning a trophy.
Mourinho will know that Spurs were in a game last night, with the Championship side putting up a real fight in North London.
There were a number of key performances from Spurs, and defender Serge Aurier turned in a strong display at right back having returned to the side.
The Ivorian has missed out through injury of late and endured a nightmare performance against Leicester City over the festive period, but came back strong against Brentford.
Fans took to Twitter to hail the 28-year-old, suggesting that he played a ‘blinder’ and was ‘exceptional’ last night.
Others felt Aurier was a different player in the second half and has really improved, even coming in for praise for his defensive work having made one key block to keep Spurs in front.
