(Photo by Catherine Ivill/Getty Images) Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Paulo Gazzaniga - 7 out of 10 A nervy moment in first-half stoppage time, just about managing to keep out Hudson-Odoi’s deflected cross. Tested from distance but coped with everything thrown at him, and impressed with his command of his area and ability with the ball at his feet. Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Kieran Trippier - 7 Solid and stout at right back, initially to Willian who failed to trouble throughout and then to Hudson-Odoi after Pedro’s introduction. Excellent block from Alonso’s volleyed drive late on. AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Davinson Sanchez - 6 A booking after going through the back of Hazard but relatively untroubled. Tottenham Hotspur FC via Getty I Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Toby Alderweireld - 7 A lovely lofted pass to free Kane for the penalty incident. Calm and composed leading the defence. Spurs allowed precious little in their box (one lapse to leave Christensen free at the far post aside) and forced Chelsea to take long-range, speculative efforts. AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Danny Rose - 8 MOTM. Started very brightly going forward and defended superbly throughout. One firm late tackle particularly eye-catching, even if it appeared to jar his hamstring. Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Harry Winks - 5 Struggled with Eden Hazard’s movement, who went past him at will. Not as competent in possession as in most of his recent outings. Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Moussa Sissoko - 7 Battled hard throughout with plenty of running and tackling. Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Christian Eriksen - 5 Not his best night. For once, the game drifted past him and he failed to seize control of the game as he perhaps could have done as Chelsea dominated the second half. Tottenham Hotspur FC via Getty I Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Dele Alli - 7 Not an outstanding attacking performance, but his defensive work in a deeper role was exemplary during the second half. Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Harry Kane - 7 Clever piece of skill to flick over Kepa and draw the foul for the penalty, which he converted confidently. Tottenham Hotspur FC via Getty I Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Son Heung-Min - 6 A less eye-catching performance than those that have lit up the last couple of months, but he threatened in behind at times and offered an outlet. AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Kepa - 5 Slow to get out to Kane and a certain penalty against him. Looked laboured in his dive as Kane then converted from the spot. AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Cesar Azpilicueta - 6 Solid, but it is on nights like this where a more influential right-back could offer more going forward. AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Antonio Ruediger - 6 Harry Kane failed to impact the game in the Chelsea half aside from the penalty incident, and both Rudiger and Christensen deserve credit for their work in that regard. Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Andreas Christensen - 6 On several occasions the man to prevent Son getting away as he has so often in recent games, but an atrocious miss after being left free from his corner. Why didn’t he use his left foot? AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Marcos Alonso - 6 Offered an outlet down the left but Spurs were content to let him have it, with no-one to cross to in a diminutive front three. AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings N'golo Kante - 6 Tested Gazzaniga a couple of times with driven efforts and unfortunate that a lovely flick struck the outside of the post. Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Jorginho - 6 Jorginho failed to find an incisive ball forward, but was the most controlling presence in midfield as Chelsea dominated second half possession. Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Ross Barkley - 6 Virtually anonymous for too much of his 75 minutes on the pitch. AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Callum Hudson-Odoi - 6 Promised much, delivered little. Some development required on his final ball, but there is clearly considerable talent there. AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Eden Hazard - 7 Chelsea’s only real threat with vigour and verve, weaving betwixt and between defenders with ease but finding support limited too often. AFP/Getty Images Tottenham vs Chelsea: Player ratings Willian - 5 A lacklustre showing that failed to get going, and replaced ahead of the more prominent Hudson-Odoi on 63 minutes. AFP/Getty Images

A statement from the Met Police's Football Unit on Twitter read: "That's it for tonight for SpursOfficial v ChelseaFC I can report that three males aged 17yrs 20yrs & 23yrs were arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offences. A fourth male was arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs."

Before kick-off police warned that any instances of hate crime during the fixture would be “taken seriously and thoroughly investigated”.

“We are working with London football clubs to ensure hate crime, including racism and anti-Semitic language, is tackled robustly," police said.

Prior to Tuesday’s semi-final first leg, Eden Hazard urged fans to focus on supporting their own team rather than verbally abusing opposition supporters.

He said: “Just watch the game and enjoy the game.

“For sure after the game one team will win and one team will lose. Try to be fair. I like all fans. Spurs also have good away fans.

“I think it is a good game to play and I hope both fans will enjoy the game.”

When asked about fans who sing abusive chants, Hazard said: “These kind of fans are not fans of football, for me.
