Son Heung-min advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Chelsea in a penalty shootout in the Tottenham League Cup, who lost their power due to a hamstring injury.
Tottenham, who had to play the final match of the qualifying round with tickets to the Europa League two days later in the absence of the main gun Son Heung-min, did not employ key players such as Harry Kane in the first half to arrange physical strength. Didn't look easy.
But Mourinho's number of matches worked.
In the second half, Harry Kane and Lucas Moura were put in one after another to reverse the mood, and Lamela tied the goal in the 38th minute to balance the match.
In the end, the penalty shootout was dramatically overshadowed.
Tottenham went on to win every fifth kicker Harry Kane, and as Chelsea's last kicker Mason Mount's shot went out of the goal, Tottenham won a thrilling victory in the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Mourinho said in an interview after the game that Sohn Heung-min will be able to return after the A-match break in October.
If that happens, the time for Son Heung-min's return is expected to be a home game against West Ham on the night of the 17th next month as early as possible.
