Erik Lamela 8, Sergio Reguilon 6; Olivier Giroud 4: Tottenham v Chelsea player ratings


  • English
  • Arabic

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Chelsea 5-4 in a penalty shootout to progress in the League Cup in their fourth round clash on Tuesday, after the game finished 1-1 in normal time.

Chelsea's Mason Mount struck the post to miss the decisive fifth penalty after every other spot kick had been scored.

Germany forward Timo Werner scored his first goal for the club to fire them into a 19th-minute lead, turning and lashing the ball into the net from the edge of the area after receiving a cut-back from Cesar Azpilicueta.

Chelsea's new goalkeeper Edouard Mendy enjoyed a solid display in his first game since switching from French side Rennes, making a good save to keep out a shot from Spurs' debutant Spanish left-back Sergio Reguilon in the second half.

But Mendy was beaten in the 83rd minute when Reguilon turned in the box and crossed for Erik Lamela, who prodded home from close range to force the shootout in which Tottenham prevailed.

An urgent trip to the bathroom by Spurs' defender Eric Dier led to the surreal sight of the defender running off the pitch during the match – with manager Jose Mourinho chasing down the tunnel after him.

Spurs were trailing 1-0 with 15 minutes to go when Dier raced off the pitch and darted towards the dressing room, quickly followed by Mourinho, whose side were briefly down to 10 men in their fourth round home clash.

Mourinho soon returned to his dugout and Dier swiftly made it back onto the pitch, helping Tottenham find an equaliser.

"Jose wasn't happy but there was nothing I could do about it, nature was calling," said Dier, who scored during the shootout.

"I heard there was a chance [for Chelsea] while I was off the pitch but thankfully they didn't score."

Libya's Gold

UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves. 

The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.

Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.

SUNDERLAND 2002-03

No one has ended a Premier League season quite like Sunderland. They lost each of their final 15 games, taking no points after January. They ended up with 19 in total, sacking managers Peter Reid and Howard Wilkinson and losing 3-1 to Charlton when they scored three own goals in eight minutes.

SUNDERLAND 2005-06

Until Derby came along, Sunderland’s total of 15 points was the Premier League’s record low. They made it until May and their final home game before winning at the Stadium of Light while they lost a joint record 29 of their 38 league games.

HUDDERSFIELD 2018-19

Joined Derby as the only team to be relegated in March. No striker scored until January, while only two players got more assists than goalkeeper Jonas Lossl. The mid-season appointment Jan Siewert was to end his time as Huddersfield manager with a 5.3 per cent win rate.

ASTON VILLA 2015-16

Perhaps the most inexplicably bad season, considering they signed Idrissa Gueye and Adama Traore and still only got 17 points. Villa won their first league game, but none of the next 19. They ended an abominable campaign by taking one point from the last 39 available.

FULHAM 2018-19

Terrible in different ways. Fulham’s total of 26 points is not among the lowest ever but they contrived to get relegated after spending over £100 million (Dh457m) in the transfer market. Much of it went on defenders but they only kept two clean sheets in their first 33 games.

LA LIGA: Sporting Gijon, 13 points in 1997-98.

BUNDESLIGA: Tasmania Berlin, 10 points in 1965-66
