London, England (Sports Network) - Jermaine Jenas, Robbie Keane, Aaron Lennon and Steed Malbranque scored to lead Tottenham to its first win over Arsenal in nine years, 5-1 in the semifinals of the Carling Cup on Tuesday.

Arsenal, which is second in the Premiership but even in points with Manchester United, got its lone goal Tuesday from Emmanuel Adebayor.
