Tottenham 5-1 Arsenal (6-2 on aggregate): Tottenham ended more than eight years of failure against arch-rivals Arsenal in some style with a resounding 5-1 win at White Hart Lane to book a trip to Wembley in the Carling Cup final.
Not since November 1999 and through 21 previous encounters had Spurs fans been able to laud it over the Gunners.
But following this comprehensive victory against a mainly young Arsenal side which just could not cope with the tenacity of Jermaine Jenas and the pace of frontman Robbie Keane, Juande Ramos will be confident of landing a first trophy in his maiden season at the famous redeveloped venue next month.
Spurs should have put the tie beyond doubt after dominating the first leg at Emirates Stadium a fortnight ago, but following a late goal from Theo Walcott, Arsenal still had it all to play for.
