8' Ramsey's long shot wide out
WIDE! Iwobi receives the ball from Ramsey just inside the Spurs half and his trickery puts Trippier off trying to tackle him.
12' Mkhitaryan wastes a golden chance
HOW HAS HE MISSED THAT?! A wonderfully worked one-two between Mkhitaryan and Ramsey sees the former played clean through on goal, but he can't beat Gazzaniga! The keeper did well to react, but Mkhitaryan's shot was too close to him. That had to be hitting the back of the net!
20'GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Tottenham (Son Heung-Min)
FIRST BLOOD TOTTENHAM! 1-0 SPURS! Route-one football as Gazzaniga's drop-kick falls for Alli, who plays Son through over the top and the forward makes no mistake, lifting a finish beyond the reach of Cech and in at the far post!
59' GOAL! Arsenal 0-2 Tottenham (Alli)
Spurs lead 2-0! Kane doesn't just score goals! A stunning ball over the top plays Alli through, and the midfielder takes a lovely first touch before producing a sensational finish to chip Cech and slot the ball in at the far post!
Match reports
Arsenal suffered a second straight defeat after going 22 games unbeaten, with Tottenham reaching the EFL Cup semi-finals at their expense.
Mauricio Pochettino's team went down 4-2 when the sides met in a fiery north London derby on December 2, but Alli's impudent finish in the 59th minute added to Son Heung-min's opener to send Spurs into the final four for the first time since 2014-15.
A banana was thrown on the pitch after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a penalty in the teams' previous encounter and on Wednesday Alli was hit by a bottle thrown from the stands, responding with a '2-0' gesture to the fans.
