Tottenham set Chelsea date
Two moments of magic from Christian Eriksen helped Tottenham Hotspur reach the final of the League Cup with a 3-2 aggregate victory over resilient League One club Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
Dane Eriksen's sublime first-half free-kick put Maurico Pochettino's team 1-0 up on the night and they looked to be in cruise control before two goals in as many minutes from 18-year-old substitute Che Adams levelled the tie overall.
But a calm finish from Eriksen with three minutes left meant the Premier League side prevailed without the need for extra-time. Their reward is a meeting with Chelsea in the final on March 1, Spurs' first Wembley final since 2009, and a chance to win the League Cup for a fifth time.
Sheffield United will point to marginal moments that mounted up and cost them the tie and, before Eriksen's opener, they might have taken the lead and levelled the aggregate score.
