Ian Wright reacts to Olivier Giroud’s horrendous misses against Tottenham

Chelsea booked a place in the finals of the English Football League Cup following a 4-2 win over Tottenham after the game went into penalties.

The Stamford Bridge outfit secured a 2-1 victory at the end of 90 minutes, but Spurs’ 1-0 win during the first leg meant a winner was going to be decided via penalties.

Chelsea held a 2-0 advantage heading into the second half and could have killed the game despite Tottenham pulling one back five minutes after the break, but French striker Olivier Giroud passed up a pair of glorious chances in stoppage time.
