Spurs ended a nine-year winless streak against Arsenal on Tuesday to reach the Carling Cup final with a 5-1 victory.

Tottenham ended a nine-year winless streak against Arsenal on Tuesday to reach the English League Cup final with a 5-1 victory.

Jermaine Jenas, Nicklas Bendtner's own-goal, Robbie Keane and Aaron Lennon put Spurs 4-0 ahead before Emmanuel Adebayor replied for Arsenal.
Steed Malbranque then added a goal in injury time to give Spurs a 6-2 aggregate victory.

The end of Arsenal's record 21-match unbeaten run against its north London rival means three-time League Cup winner Tottenham will play either defending champion Chelsea or Everton in the Feb. 24 final at Wembley.

The other two teams play the second leg of their semifinal on Wednesday, with Chelsea leading 2-1 from its home match.

"To beat a team like Arsenal you have to play well," Tottenham manager Juande Ramos said. "The team did not make any mistakes and was perfect in every area.

"The effort the players put in means they are the architects of this win."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insisted the size of defeat, the Gunners' largest to Tottenham since 1983, was unwarranted.

"The score is high and very brutal but does not reflect what we saw on the pitch," Wenger said. "They defend like mad and they catch us on the break."

Hampered by injuries, Arsenal made three changes from the first leg, drafting in the experienced William Gallas, striker Bendtner and first-team fullback Bacary Sagna to boost a young team that could only draw its home leg 1-1 two weeks ago.

Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva had first effort in third minute, firing high and wide from about 20 yards seconds before Jenas gave Spurs the lead with a solo effort.

Jenas picked up the ball from Dimitar Berbatov about 40 yards from goal and drove through the Arsenal defense to shoot from the edge of the area, across goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and in off the post.

Whenever Arsenal countered, usually down the left through Abou Diaby or Armand Traore, Lennon and Keane backtracked to slow the move.

Jenas and the defensive Teemu Tainio, who was Tottenham's only change from the first leg, harried an Arsenal midfield that contained Cesc Fabregas after the 18th minute.

Fabregas replaced the injured Denilson but was unable to replicate the form that has brought him 11 goals this season.

Bendtner had a shot over the bar and Arsenal forced a couple of corners, but Keane collected a pass down the line from Malbranque at the other end and wrestled past a defender before his shot from a narrow angle was blocked on the line.

Justin Hoyte dragged down Keane on the left side in the 27th, and Jenas curled a right-footed free kick toward Michael Dawson in the area, only for Bendtner to head into the top corner of his own goal.

Knowing that they wasted a two-goal lead against Arsenal before being eliminated at the same stage last season, Spurs pressed for more goals and Berbatov hit the post after breaking in alone.

Arsenal seemed set to make the most of its escape when Tottenham goalkeeper Radek Cerny had to tip a header over the bar and Diaby, jeered by the home fans for falling in the area after a tackle by Pascal Chimbonda, shot wide from edge of area and over the bar a minute later.

Jenas shot into the side netting in first-half injury time and, when Arsenal started the second period by creating a constant pressure, it seemed Tottenham would again regret its missed chances.

But from Spurs' first attack of the half, Lennon looped a pass forward to Keane, who hit a shot through Fabianski's hands for his 101st club goal.

Arsenal responded immediately with Bendtner hitting an overhead kick onto the bar and Fabregas forcing Cerny to save the rebound.

It was nearly 4-0 in the 50th when Fabianski let a shot by Malbranque slip through his hands but managed to recover to smother the midfielder's follow from the rebound.

But Tottenham managed another goal 10 minutes later from a counterattack spurred by Chimbonda passing wide to Lennon, who let the ball run to Keane.

The striker passed back to the speedy winger, and he shot under Fabianski to send the majority of the 35,979 fans wild.

With the game safe, Ramos was able to remove Berbatov and Keane in the 63rd to rest them for an FA Cup match at Manchester United on Sunday.

Wenger inserted strikers Adebayor and Eduardo da Silva at the same time as Ramos made his changes.

Adebayor lashed a 70th-minute shot into the top corner for a consolation, but was unable to create any more openings and even had to be separated from Bendtner after an altercation with his teammate.

Wenger slumped into his seat dejected, while Ramos continued to cajole his team from the touchline and, after consulting bilingual assistant Gus Poyet, the Spaniard responded to the Tottenham fans' chants for a wave.

The fans then were cheering again in injury time when Malbranque scored from close range after a cross by Jenas.

"It's been a long time since they've had the flavor of a final, so that makes it much more satisfying," Ramos said.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Full marks to spurs for outplaying us and shackling ours.:cool: Even had to get rid of scholey/giggsy to make room for nani/anderson. My earlier post was a bad omen, almost kena slayed. To salvage so late into stoppage time, was cruel to spurs. To think I almost made a sad beeline for the loo before all the posturing for corner:o

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

bro yinyang,

a bit cruel but that what normally a championship is won beside the strength,spirit,teamwork,skill and etc, a bit of luck lor.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

I thought ref a bit kelong lah....second half where ot 4 mins extra time?????First half already played till 48 mins....

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

at least man utd dont need ref help to deny spurs of a win. unlike scums who need ref make sure they get 1st league win in 2008.


other ref also kelong. he pity rafa bendhisass so much so that he deny sunderland of 2 clear penalties. if england need another goalie capello can recall carragher after his fantastic save.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

ya true but spurs still at them by the balls n we got the 3 points:p

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

well bros, the cockerels tried to nip 3 points but the devils may care. never a dull moment this match, the last second strike by tevez was really unbearable to watch. it would have been a remarkable win against a great side. anyway, a 1 goal lead never looked enough throughout the night.

It's the 1st competitive Trophy of the Session, besides the charity shield. We have won, but the more important task is coming. We need to concentrate on the UEFA Cup and the Premiership. Spurs will do well with more consistency in all departments.

Well Done You Spurs...

Cheers
