Clinton Morrison slams Spurs for NOT treating Carabao Cup tie against Chelsea like a semi-final and delivering a 'flat' performance in 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge

Clinton Morrison has slammed Tottenham for not treating the Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea like a big game and delivering a 'flat' performance.

Spurs were second-best in every department on Wednesday night, as the Blues were comfortable winners at Stamford Bridge and will take a 2-0 lead into next week's return leg.

Calamitous defending proved the undoing of Antonio Conte's team, with Kai Havertz capitalising to put the European champions ahead after just five minutes following a mistake from Japhet Tanganga.

The Spurs defender's night went from bad to worse as his clearing header smacked into Ben Davies and flew past Hugo Lloris to give Chelsea a two-goal lead before halftime.
