In the first half, Rudiger's header broke the goal; in the second half, Kane's goal was blown away. In the end, Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 to advance to the final with a two-legged aggregate score of 3-0.
In the 18th minute, Mount drove a corner kick from the left and Rudiger nodded the ball into the goal! Chelsea lead 1-0!
In the 40th minute, Rudiger tripped Hoibel from behind and the referee awarded a penalty for the first time! VAR stepped in, showed outside the penalty area, and the referee changed the decision to a free kick!

In the 63rd minute, Tottenham Broke the Ball in front of them, Kepa rushed out, Kane scored a goal, but the VAR drawing results showed that Kane was offside and the goal was invalid.
In the end, Chelsea won 1-0, double-win over two legs to advance to the League Cup final for the ninth time in history. Tuchel continues his magic, having led Chelsea to the last 350 days since he led the team to the finals of the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League triathlons, becoming the first manager in the history of the Blues to accomplish this feat.
From the statistics point of view, in the history of the League Cup, the team with a net loss of more than 1 goal in the first leg of the semi-final has only completed the headwind reversal once, but it is a pity that Spurs failed to grasp the advantage of the schedule between the first and the last home, and fell under the strong strength and curse of Chelsea. So far this season, Tottenham have lost two lines: first in the Europa League, and now in the League Cup semi-finals. Next, Conte's side will focus all their energy on the Premier League and the FA Cup.
