Settled the penalties with powerful strike to send Chelsea into the final. 7Emerson Palmieri: Got up and down from left-back well. 6NGolo Kante: Sparked the second-leg with a fierce drive from range and was good throughout. 7Jorginho: Booked for nasty challenge on Rose and again didnt look at his best but superb from the spot. 6
3Tottenham:
Paulo Gazzaniga: Produced some superb long-range passes and did well.No chance with either goal or in the shoot-out. 6Serge Aurier: A surprisingly subdued evening and was caught out of position at times. 5Toby Alderweireld: Had chances in attack but Spurs would have wanted him more solid at the back. 6Jan Vertonghen: Wont be happy with Chelseas opener but was good from then on. 6Ben Davies: Off early after suffering an apparent groin injury. 5Eric Dier: One or two early clashes before settling into the tie. Fired penalty high into the crowd. 5Harry Winks: Defended well but was left behind by Hazard at times. 5Moussa Sissoko: Still returning to full fitness so couldnt use his normal powerful runs and looked a step behind before going off injured. 5Christian Eriksen: Gave job of keeping Jorginho off the ball and did it well. Showed his creativity in flashes. Scored opening penalty. 7
