  2. 'To win a trophy is very difficult'published at 22:29 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2021

    Tottenham 2-1 West Ham

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham manager Antonio Conte told Sky Sports: "It's good for Tottenham to reach the semi-finals of this competition. You can see the names of these teams that have reached the semi-finals - Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal with us - so every side wants to try to lift this trophy.

    "When I was at Chelsea this trophy was not second, but we used to play young players that did not start in the 11. Now I'm seeing in England to win a trophy is very difficult. We have had to beat an important team like West Ham and they eliminated [Manchester] United and [Manchester] City. In England it's very difficult to win something.

    "For sure we can do better but I've seen improvements in some parts, especially when in possession of the ball. We tried to control the game and we scored the first goal, it was an amazing goal involving many players.

    "The performance was good and it's important to recover. We played many players that have had Covid. They kept the intensity but we have to manage the situation very well. Today was good and important for me that I know I can count on a squad of many players."

    Real Madrid have beaten Athletic Bilbao 2-1 and are now eight points clear at the top of La Liga.

  6. 'A great effort'published at 22:21 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2021

    Tottenham 2-1 West Ham

    West Ham United

    West Ham manager David Moyes told Sky Sports: "The players showed great character and determination. We had a bit of a depleted squad but it was a great effort.

    "It was a couple of poor bits of defending that gave them opportunities to score. They're a good team but it was self inflicted.

    "We kept going, the players were there until the death trying to get back into the game.

    "We were the better team in the second half, it was a tough game, we just let ourselves down on a couple of incidents in the first half."

    It's almost 10 years since Liverpool last won a domestic cup - the 2012 League Cup.

    Tottenham 2-1 West Ham

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham goalscorer Lucas Moura told Sky Sports: "It means a lot, it was a big game, a derby. It's a competition we can win so let's fight for this.

    "We started very well, conceded a goal by our mistake but controlled the game in the first half. In the second half they tried to score but we were solid and suffered together.

    "Last season we had the chance to get this trophy but in the final we didn't play very well but now is another opportunity, another season, another manager, another squad and I think we're better now.

    "A trophy is my objective, I think we deserve it but we need to show it on the pitch."

    Klopp starts weak and finishes strong. Rodgers starts strong and finishes weak. Any Liverpool fans still annoyed by the team selection? Believe people, believe!

    Monty, London

    Leicester deserved that, all their time wasting contributed to a Liverpool goal at the death. Come on reds!

    Tom, London

    I think tonight just goes to show that Leicester are not as scary as they look on paper. If Jurgen started with more first team players I think Leicester would have been played off the park
