Jose Mourinho moved Tottenham Hotspur to within one game of their first trophy in 13 years as they earned a 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final win over Brentford.

Spurs have not claimed silverware since they beat Chelsea in the 2008 League Cup final and they were made to work hard before seeing off the Championship promotion chasers in this one-leg semi-final.

Brentford had beaten four Premier League sides in the run to their first major semi-final but they were behind after only 12 minutes when Moussa Sissoko headed Sergio Reguilon's cross beyond Bees keeper David Raya.

Son Heung-min raced clear to add a second after 70 minutes.

Mourinho's side will now meet either Manchester United or Manchester City in the final at Wembley in April.
