The first leg of the all-London semi-final was a low-scoring affair and Harry Kane's penalty has given Spurs an advantage heading to Stamford Bridge
Tottenham secured a third consecutive win against Chelsea to seize the advantage in their Carabao Cup semi-final. The visitors had their chances though, twice hitting the post and forcing Paulo Gazzaniga into a number of saves.
Harry Kane's first half penalty saw the England striker become the fourth highest goalscorer for Spurs, netting his 160th goal for the club, moving him one clear of Cliff Jones.
bet365's latest Carabao Cup odds see Mauricio Pochettino's men as 4/9 (1.44) favourites to qualify from the tie ahead of the second leg at Stamford Bridge in two weeks' time.
Chelsea are available at 13/8 (2.62) to turn the situation around and progress to the Wembley showpiece against either Manchester City or Burton Albion.
There is betting available for the second leg too. bet365 go 11/10 (2.10) that Maurizio Sarri's side win the match in normal time. A one-goal victory for the hosts would trigger a penalty shootout with away goals not counting in the competition this season.
A draw in 90 minutes would be enough for Spurs and that's available at 12/5 (3.40) while a fourth consecutive victory for the North Londoners is also 12/5 (3.40) with the online bookmaker.
The first leg may have lacked goals but there was plenty to keep referee Michael Oliver busy at Wembley. VAR was employed to give the penalty that ultimately allowed Spurs to seal the game, while four players were booked including Kepa Arrizabalaga for his challenge on the Tottenham frontman.
Eden Hazard was subject to plenty of close attention from the hosts. The 28-year-old earned his side seven free-kicks, the most he has won in a single game this season and 70 per cent of Cheslea's tally for the match.
In terms of the Carabao Cup winner odds, bet365 make Tottenham a 5/2 (3.50) chance to lift the trophy with Chelsea drifting to 5/1 (6.0) after Tuesday's defeat.
Manchester City are just 4/7 (1.57) to claim the first domestic silverware of the season as they prepare to host 100/1 (101.0) outsiders Burton Albion at the Etihad.
