Tottenham made 'so many mistakes' in lead-up to Kai Havertz's opener for Chelsea, claims Michael Dawson... but former centre-back DEFENDS Japhet Tanganga for header which resulted in Ben Davies' 'disastrous' own goal

Michael Dawson has slammed Spurs' defence for making 'so many' errors leading up to Kai Havertz's opener in Chelsea's 2-0 win against them in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.

The Blues were ahead inside five minutes when Marcos Alonso intercepted Japhet Tanganga's pass to Emerson Royal, before slipping the ball in behind for Havertz to open the scoring, despite Davinson Sanchez's efforts to clear the ball over the bar.

It would get worse for Antonio Conte's men 11 minutes before half-time, when Tanganga's header from a Blues free-kick rebounded off Ben Davies and into the Spurs net.
