Match Events
21' CHANCE! Hazard's shot saved
SHOT! A dangerous moment for Chelsea, as Hudson-Odoi picks out Hazard in the pocket. The Belgium forward, playing through the middle today, gets in a shot from 22 yards which turns out be a straightforward one for Gazzaniga to keep out.
26'Penalty Goal! Tottenham 1-0 Chelsea (Kane)
The referee awards the penalty! Kane is deemed to be just about onside and Kepa, who wiped the Tottenham striker clean out in the box, is cautioned.
GOOOAAALLLLL!! TOTTENHAM 1-0 CHELSEA! It may have taken a couple of minutes for the penalty to be awarded - and it must be said that the correct call was made - but Kane keeps his composure. The pen is not quite in the bottom-left corner, but it has enough power to beat Kepa.
45' OFF THE BAR! Hudson-Odoi almost scores
OFF THE BAR! An incredible end to the first half. Hudson-Odoi swings in a cross from the right which takes a huge deflection off Rose, almost catching out Gazzaniga. The Spurs keeper scampers back and gets a hand to the ball to help it onto the crossbar.
58' HUGE CHANCE! Christensen's shot wide out
HUGE CHANCE! Chelsea really should be on level terms at Wembley. Barkley flicks on the corner and Christensen is there to meet the ball towards the back post, only to shank his first-time effort wide of the target. Shocking miss!
