Nervesĭavinson Sánchez gave Gollini a back pass on his left foot that he did not want and Spurs lived on the edge of their nerves as they tried to play out, averting disaster, but then seeing Sánchez play a loose pass and the ball go out for a Chelsea throw. One sequence in the 15th minute rather summed things up. Each replay looked worse for him.Ĭhelsea settled into their stride, pressing high, Spurs’s defensive insecurities bubbling. Gollini clattered into him, having led with his fist. He appeared to turn his back slightly but he did enough to direct the ball on target. Tottenham’s marking had disintegrated, nobody picking the run of Rüdiger, and Gollini never looked like getting there first. Gollini has not convinced since his arrival over the summer and, although he made an important early block to deny Romelu Lukaku, who had bullied Ben Davies to get on to a long pass from Rüdiger, he was soon picking the ball out of his net, having failed to deal with a Mason Mount corner. It felt risky.Ĭonte’s change had been in goal and it was a surprise one, Pierluigi Gollini preferred to Hugo Lloris. How Spurs had laboured at the back and yet Conte, missing the injured Eric Dier and Cristian Romero, decided to try, try again, starting with the same five that he had used at Stamford Bridge. The first leg had been one-sided and the only wonder was that Chelsea were unable to bring a decisive lead across town. But it was Tuchel who they saluted long into the night, this his third semi-final win in three attempts. Their followers chorused the name of Antonio Conte in the 70th minute, paying their respects to the now Spurs manager for his work at their club over two seasons from 2016, when he won the Premier League and FA Cup. A host of personnel in high-vis jackets were quickly on the scene and there was a lengthy pause.Ĭhelsea march on. There would also be concern in the closing stages when Spurs supporters in the South Stand alerted the stewards to what appeared to be a medical emergency. Marriner was told by the technology that Kane was offside. It was not funny for Spurs, who saw the referee, Andre Marriner, wrongly award two penalties, which he had to rescind after advice from VAR, and then disallow a Harry Kane goal. Then the high jinx, which brought the entertainment value, at least for the travelling fans. It has only happened three times under him. Thomas Tuchel’s European champions are not in the habit of conceding three goals in a game. The opening goal was always going to be vital given the aggregate score at kick-off and, when Antonio Rüdiger scored it for Chelsea, it felt as if that was that. Tottenham 0 Chelsea 1 (Chelsea win 3-0 on aggregate)įirst the passion killer.
