Kane scored the spot kick

Tottenham took the lead against Chelsea after 26 minutes this evening after VAR overruled Michael Oliver's initial decision to rule Harry Kane offside, and award a penalty. As Kane raced through on goal, he beat Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to the ball and was tripped by the Spaniard, but the assistant referee had already raised his flag for offside. However, the video assistant referee, commonly known as VAR, had a word in Oliver's ear and informed him that Kane was in fact onside, and Spurs should therefore be awarded a penalty. Watch the incident for yourself below. https://twitter.com/SkyFootball/status/1082737019510493186 Spurs went into the half time break with a one goal cushion in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, in which away goals do not count.
