Chelsea have taken the advantage in the Carabao Cup semi-final tie with Tottenham after a 2-0 win in the first leg at Stamford Bridge.
Antonio Conte will be livid with Tottenham's first-half display as Chelsea cruised to a two-goal advantage by the break.
Marcos Alonso pounced on a sloppy attempt to play out from the Spurs defenders, before finding space to put Kai Havertz in shooting range.
The German's shot might have headed wide only for Emerson Royal to deflect the ball into the roof of the net.
Another terrible mix-up allowed Chelsea to double their lead.
This time it came from Hakim Ziyech's free-kick with Japhet Tanganga heading his clearance off teammate Ben Davies and into the back of the net.
Romelu Lukaku, back in the starting XI, could have it made it 3-0 by half-time but could only direct his header wide.
Spurs will need to improve before next week's second leg in north London, having mustered just two shots on target on Wednesday night.
