Mark Clattenburg claims Erik Lamela’s offside call against Chelsea was very tight

Tottenham Hotspur crashed out of the English Football League Cup at the hands of Chelsea after suffering a 4-2 loss in a penalty shootout after both sides played out 2-2 on aggregate.

The hosts secured a 2-1 victory, but Spurs’ 1-0 win at Wembley during the first-leg meant the game was forced into spot-kicks.

Chelsea went 2-0 up into the break, but Tottenham pulled one back five minutes after play restarted.

They could have made it 2-2 after Erik Lamela appeared to have been played clean through on goal, but he was flagged offside.
