Burnley 3 Tottenham 2(after extra-time, Tottenham win 6-4 on aggregate): Roman Pavyluchenko and Jermain Defoe scored deep into extra-time to break Burnley hearts and hand Carling Cup holders Tottenham a final date with Manchester United.

Owen Coyle’s Championship side wiped out a 4-1 first-leg deficit with goals from the outstanding Robbie Blake, Chris McCann and substitute Jay Rodriguez.

But just when they looked set to progress to Wembley on away goals, substitute Pavyluchenko slotted home in the 118th minute and Defoe netted a minute later.
