One year of José Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur
For Brentford, meanwhile, it is the first time they have reached the semi-finals of a major domestic cup competition in their 131-year history. The Bees have picked off a series of top flight scalps en route to this stage, starting with Southampton in the second round before all of West Brom, Fulham and Newcastle fell victim to last year’s playoff finalists. Daniel Farke’s side might have lost star forwards Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma over the summer, but they are vying for promotion once again and boast a wealth of exciting young players. The winner of tonight’s tie will face either Manchester United or Manchester City in the final. Follow all the action live below:
Tottenham 2 – 0 Brentford
75 mins: Thomas Frank brings on Tariqe Fosu and Emiliano Marcondes to try and liven things up for Brentford. Vitaly Janelt and Sergi Canos go off. Mbeumo’s cross into the box is marshalled well by Aurier who chests it down safely for his goalkeeper.

Tottenham 2 – 0 Brentford – Son
70 mins: GOAL! It had to happen. Spurs sweep forward quickly as Kane pick out Ndombele in the middle of the pitch. Son bursts through the lines as the pass is played up to him. Dalsgaard knows he isn’t going to catch Son and tries to bring him down to no avail. The striker carries the ball into the box and smashes it home.

54 mins: Yellow card for Mbeumo as he lunges in on Reguilon and hits the left-back’s ankle. Spurs have a free kick to the left of the goal about 20 yards out. Kane takes the free kick and hits the wall. Toney tries to run the ball away and he’s cleaned out by Reguilon who also goes in the book.
