Tottenham ended their participation in the League Cup tournament in short order. "Spurs" were already eliminated in the second round of the competition by Fulham, who rejoiced after the execution of penalties. Before that, in regular time, the score was 1:1. Home team "Craven Cottage" took the lead in the game first. In the 19th minute, Mickey van de Ven sent the ball into his own goal after a sharp cross from the ground by Tom Kearney. In the 56th minute, Richarlison got Tottenham back into the game, heading home from Ivan Perisic's cross.

In the end, the winner had to be decided by penalties.
