London (AP) – Chelsea FC has the best chance of reaching the final in the English League Cup.
In the semi-final first leg, coach Thomas Tuchel’s team won against Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 (2-0). The German international Ka Havertz laid the foundation for success with his early goal after five minutes. A curious own goal by Ben Davis (34th) sealed the Spurs bankruptcy. The second leg will take place in a week.
Liverpool FC had applied for a postponement of the other league cup semifinals at Arsenal due to numerous corona cases, which was confirmed on Wednesday. The match planned for Thursday will not be played until January 20th. The actual second leg on January 13th in Anfield will be the first leg. After coach Jürgen Klopp, his assistant and representative Pep Lijnders had also tested positive for the corona virus. On Tuesday, the training center was closed for the time being due to the rapid increase in suspected cases.
