Mauricio Pochettino is pleased that Tottenham lost to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-finals on penalties rather than in normal circumstances.
The Blues took advantage after 27 minutes, while Kante's attack on the edge of the box conceded several pairs of legs before beating Paulo Gazzaniga.
The hosts quickly took the lead, equalizing the Spurs free-kick, allowing Hazard to score the corner and score the overall score 2-1.
The Spurs would defend themselves early in the second half when Danny Rose showed up to allow Fernando Llorente to equalize.
Penalties would be needed to separate the two teams, and defeats by Eric Dier and Lucas Moura allowed Chelsea to qualify for the Carabao Cup final, where they will meet last season's winner, Manchester City.
Talk to Sky sportsPochettino said, "We won at Wembley. They beat us here. I would prefer to lose on penalties [than in the game]. Congratulations to Chelsea.
"We will continue in the FA Cup match against Crystal Palace.
"In the second half, we played so well and dominated and had opportunities. More than 180 minutes, it was 2-2. Chelsea would have been disappointed at Wembley. This is football.
"We changed in the second half. I think we started to dominate. Before the first half, we played well and took control. This is football. "
Pochettino's lack of depth was criticized, and he seemed to accept the fact that the number of options available to Chelsea played a decisive role in their participation in the final.
"When you have Hazard, Pedro, Giroud, Kante, they can score," he said.
"The team was so good. I feel so proud. I'm so happy with the performance and the way we fought. After two incredible games, I congratulate my players. "
