Tottenham Hotspur reached the League Cup final with a 2-0 semi-final win over Brentford.
Goals from Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min helped Tottenham see off the Championship promotion chasers at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday night.
The last time Spurs claimed silverware was when they beat Chelsea in the 2008 League Cup final.
Boss Jose Mourinho has won the cup on four occasions and now he has become the third manager to reach the final with three different teams (Spurs, Chelsea, and Manchester United).
Despite Thomas Frank's side putting up a good fight, things went from bad to worse for the Bees as the visitors were reduced to 10 men following Josh Dasilva's foul on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg late in the game.
After the game, the 22-year-old former Arsenal academy midfielder took to Twitter to say there was no malice in the challenge.
He tweeted: "Anyone that knows me, knows it was never intentional... will learn from this."
And Spurs midfielder Hojbjerg was magnanimous in victory.
The 25-year-old said he knew the tackle wasn't deliberate, he said the former Arsenal star had a bright future ahead, and that he, Hojbjerg, was a "Viking".
But the Danish international did, however, say Dasilva owed him something.
Many Spurs fans praised Hojbjerg's classy response and hailed his performance and his warrior-like attitude.
After the win, Mourinho said Spurs had been rewarded for taking the Carabao Cup seriously.
"I came to England in 2004 and I remember that in that period I had to learn the meaning of the cups here and I always took it seriously," he said.
"If there is any secret it's to take it seriously. To respect what English football is, what English clubs are, what English lower divisions are.
"That's what I hope to do on Sunday in Crosby against Marine [in the FA Cup]."
He added: "If you see the winners you realise the big clubs want to win it.
"Who was the last winner apart from the normal top six? Swansea? I remember Manchester City winning a lot of times, Chelsea winning a lot of times, I remember United winning a few times.
"I remember Liverpool in finals, Arsenal. The big clubs care about it.
"What I sense in the team is that desire. I'm not saying a winning mentality, I'm not saying we are this or that.
"I just say we are honest people. Try to be serious, respect the opponents, and try to progress."
Spurs will now meet either Manchester United or Manchester City, who play in the other semi-final tonight, in the final at Wembley in April.
