Tottenham have qualified for the EFL Cup final following a 2-0 victory over championship club, Brentford. Moussa Sissoko and Heung-min Son got the goals for Spurs whose victory brought Brentford’s 16-match unbeaten run to an end. Brentford thought they had carved a route back into the game but Ivan Toney had a 63rd-minute header disallowed for offside after Sissoko had powered Spurs in front with a headed goal. Son then streaked clear of the Brentford defence to hammer home his 16th goal of the season and grant Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho his latest shot at silverware. Brentford finshed with 10 men after Josh Dasilva’s ugly lunge caught Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Spurs manager, Jose Mourinho has lifted the three-handled trophy on four occasions and it was his first honour in English football with Chelsea back in 2005. It was also the last major prize Spurs were able to collect, back in 2008. Victory over either of the other semi-final combatants – his former club Manchester United or Pep Guardiola and holders Manchester City – would surely by richly enjoyed by Mourinho if he and his players can complete the job at Wembley in April. Both sides turn their attention towards the FA Cup this weekend, with Brentford hosting Championship counterparts Middlesbrough and Spurs travelling to non-league Marine in the most intriguing tie of the third round
