Thu Feb 06 19:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Son Heung-min’s Tottenham Hotspur One Step Closer to Trophy Glory
**London, UK** – Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min is on the verge of his first major trophy with the club since joining in 2015. The South Korean star will lead his team into the Carabao Cup (League Cup) semi-final second leg against Liverpool at Anfield on January 7th (UK time). A draw will be enough to secure Tottenham’s place in the final.
Tottenham holds a crucial 1-0 advantage from the first leg, thanks to Lucas Moura’s winning goal. A victory in this match would be particularly significant for Spurs, who haven’t lifted the League Cup since 2008, despite reaching the final in 2009, 2015, and 2021. Winning the trophy would provide a much-needed boost to a team currently struggling in 14th place in the Premier League.
The match presents a significant challenge. Tottenham faces a formidable Liverpool side boasting a strong record of 17 wins, 5 draws, and only 1 loss this season. Adding to Tottenham’s difficulties are several key injuries, including a significant blow from the injury to Radru Draguşin (ACL tear).
However, a win against Liverpool would set up a final clash against Newcastle United, who convincingly defeated Arsenal 4-0 on aggregate in their semi-final. For Son Heung-min and Tottenham, this Carabao Cup semi-final represents a crucial opportunity to break their trophy drought and reignite their season.
