Chelsea player ratings vs Tottenham: Jorginho stars as Werner nets first goal in defeat | Football | Sport
[ad_1]
Timo Werner scored his first Chelsea goal but Tottenham knocked the Blues out of the Carabao Cup at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The two sides went to penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time but Mason Mount missed the final penalty to send Spurs into the fifth round of the competition.
German striker Werner capitalised on the error of Spurs debutant Sergio Reguilon to fire the Blues in front on 19 minutes.
And Chelsea were the better team for the rest of the first half but Spurs improved after the break.
Winger Erik Lamela equalised seven minutes from time to force a penalty shootout.
On spot-kicks, Mount was the only player to miss – firing wide off of the post – as Spurs won 5-4.
