'We need the fans' - Kante says Chelsea supporters will make the difference in Spurs semi-final second leg

Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante says the club’s fans can make the difference when they look to overturn their Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg defeat against Tottenham.

Maurizio Sarri’s side went down 1-0 at Wembley on Tuesday evening thanks to a first-half penalty from England captain Harry Kane.

There was an element of controversy about the goal, with VAR ruling Kane was onside in the build-up before being fouled in the penalty area by goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Blues boss Sarri disagreed with the decision, claiming replays he had seen on a club analyst's laptop showed Kane should have been ruled offside and questioned whether English referees know how to use the system.
