Tottenham Hotspur earned a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley. 

Even though Chelsea had the lion's share of possession, it was Harry Kane's penalty, which came about after a lengthy VAR decision, which decided the game.  

Here, Sportsmail's Chris Sutton takes you through what happened with his big match analysis.

Hudson-Odoi rewards Sarri's show of faith 

For a great team like Bayern Munich to be willing to pay £35million for Callum Hudson-Odoi tells us what a talent he is.

His performance against Tottenham, albeit in defeat, told us that, too.

What impresses me most is that he doesn’t show any fear.

He has that swagger about him, despite being only 18 years old. He knows when to release the ball, too.

He is young and can improve but he is an excellent prospect. He looked Chelsea’s biggest threat.

The issue for Maurizio Sarri is that a manager is there to win games and he has players at his disposal such as Pedro and Willian. But it is about time Chelsea gave their best youngsters a chance and it was a big show of faith by Sarri to start Hudson-Odoi (above) at Wembley.
