In the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals, Tottenham suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat away to Liverpool, losing 1-4 on aggregate and missing out on a place in the final, officially ending their hopes of winning this season’s League Cup.
Tottenham 0-4 Liverpool!
Notably, Spurs’ last trophy came 17 years ago in the same competition when they defeated Chelsea to claim what remains their only piece of silverware in the 21st century.
This season, with their Premier League title hopes fading, Spurs must now turn their attention to the FA Cup or the Europa League as their only realistic chances of lifting a trophy.

Another trophyless season for Spurs?
Up next, they will face Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round, while in the Europa League, they have already secured direct qualification to the Round of 16, awaiting their next challenge in the knockout stages.
The Weight of Expectations on Tottenham
Despite their struggles, Spurs remain a competitive side, but their failure to end their trophy drought has become a major talking point. With the likes of Harry Kane long gone and new stars stepping up, the club must prove it can handle the pressure of big matches. Fans are growing increasingly impatient, and unless Spurs manage to secure silverware soon, their reputation as perennial underachievers will only deepen.
