Tottenham will face Chelsea in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup.

Tottenham gained revenge over north London rivals Arsenal as goals by Heung-min Son and Dele Alli earned a 2-0 victory to put them into the EFL Cup semi-finals.

Seventeen days after losing 4-2 in a pulsating Premier League clash, in-form Tottenham returned to the Emirates to gain their first away victory over Arsenal in eight years.

Son opened the scoring against the run of play with a stylish 24th-minute effort and Alli's superb second on the hour proved enough for Tottenham to progress to the last four.

Arsenal were left to rue several wasted opportunities with Henrikh Mkhitaryan guilty in the first half, while the hosts also struck the woodwork on a couple of occasions.

As for Chelsea, Eden Hazard came off the substitutes' bench to send the Blues into the last four at the expense of Bournemouth.

The first legs will be played in the week commencing January 7 and the second legs in week beginning January 21.
