Tottenham defender Eric Dier admits Spurs' success starved stars are 'desperate' to end 13-year trophy drought after reaching the Carabao Cup final

Eric Dier admits Tottenham Hotspur's long serving stars are desperate to finally end the club's 13-year trophy drought after defeating Brentford to reach the Carabao Cup final.

Dier played the full 90 minutes as Spurs comfortably saw off the Championship high flyers at White Hart Lane 2-0 thanks to goals from Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min.

It's Tottenham's fourth final since last winning a trophy, the League Cup in 2008. Since then they have lost three consecutive finals including the League Cup a year later against Manchester United.

Since joining the club in 2014, Dier has been part of a side that have reached the other two finals including the League Cup again in 2015 and the Champions League in 2019

However both ended in 2-0 defeat under Mauricio Pochettino against Chelsea and Liverpool respectively, and now Dier hopes fellow long serving team-mates including Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris and Ben Davies can finally make it third time lucky under Jose Mourinho for April's showdown at Wembley.
