Spurs goalscorer Sissoko: We deserve to be in Carabao Cup final

Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko was delighted to score in their Carabao Cup semifinal defeat of Brentford.

Sissoko and Heung-min Son struck for the 2-0 win.

He said at the final whistle: "We are all very happy, it's been a long time and we've been waiting for that moment.

"We played a great game against a great team but we deserved to win. Now we're going to go to Wembley and play either Manchester United or Manchester City.

"We'll be ready, doesn't matter who we are going to play, let's be ready for that game and hopefully we can win the trophy.

"It was good to score an early goal. I think we controlled the game and we scored the second goal in the second half and we deserved it. All the fans will be happy, now let's be ready for the next game on Sunday."

Sissoko added: "We are in the final so it's the time to win it. The last final we reached was the Champions League final and we lost, so we were disappointed for many months. To play a final at Wembley, you don't want to just play a final - you want to win it and we will try our best to win and bring the trophy home."
