League cup final 'means the world' to Tottenham - Kane

Harry Kane was over the moon after Tottenham booked their spot in the Capital One Cup final on Wednesday night.

Spurs drew 2-2 with League One side Sheffield United at Bramall Lane to progress to the March 1 final 3-2 on aggregate despite a second-half scare when the Blades netted twice in two minutes.

Christian Eriksen scored a sublime free-kick just before the half-hour mark to give the north Londoners an overall two-goal lead before United teenager Che Adams levelled the tie but Eriksen saved the day two minutes from time to force a Wembley meeting with London rivals Chelsea.

Of that prospect, a relieved Kane told Sky Sports 1: "It means the world.

"We were in cruise control and that was the worst thing we could have done. Credit to Sheffield United but it shows how much character we have.

"At Wembley anything can happen. It's 1-1 between us this season, it's a decider if you like and there's no better place for it than Wembley."
