Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits it will still be 'very difficult' for his side to win the Carabao Cup after edging past West Ham United and drawing former club Chelsea in the semi-finals

Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte admits his side still have plenty of work to do if they wish to end the club's 13-year wait for a trophy.

Spurs edged past West Ham United in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday with a 2-1 win following goals from Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura and a dogged defensive display in the second half to keep a dominant Hammers side at bay.

Spurs will now take on Conte's former club Chelsea in the semi-finals of the competition next month, and with Arsenal facing Liverpool in the other semi-final the Italian knows there will be no easy route to lifting the cup at Wembley a month later and a drought that stretches back to the 2008 League Cup success against the Blues.
