Tom Huddlestone and Robbie Keane got Tottenham dreaming of Carling Cup glory again after reaching the quarter-finals with a 2-0 victory over Everton at White Hart Lane.[LNB]Spurs reached the final of the competition in the last two seasons, winning it in 2008, and they are two ties from Wembley again after Huddlestone's thunderbolt strike and Keane following up his own saved penalty.[LNB]They still needed saves from Heurelho Gomes at the start of each half to extend Everton's run of matches without a win to five.[LNB]Everton started the game brightly but fell behind in the 31st minute when Keane shifted the ball to David Bentley on the right and his cross was thumped home by Huddlestone with his left foot.[LNB]Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes then denied Tim Cahill and Jo before the hosts doubled their lead in extraordinary fashion 12 minutes after the interval.[LNB]Keane eventually finished off the total chaos that ensued when Tim Howard saved his spot-kick. The American then denied Bentley and Keane again and Gareth Bale also had a stab before the Spurs skipper smashed into the top corner.
