But the Roosters really did not raise their hands and came back thanks to a goal by Eric Lamela, which brought them down with a minimal advantage for the break.

Everton tried their best to reach a decision in 90 minutes and Richardson returned the advantage in the 69th minute. But Tottenham have a great striker of their own, called Harry Kane. The striker forced extra time in the 84th minute with a great shot, but sadly, saw how Bernard who came on as a substitute said the last word with a seven-minute winning goal inside extra time, which lifted Ancelotti’s side to the next stage. And what about Jose Mourinho? He suffered a top five for the first time since losing 5-3 to Chelsea in 2015, to whom? To Tottenham.

This is the first goal of the English defender in the factory since January 2011, then in the Aston Villa uniform. It happened 3,686 days ago.
