Defending champions Tottenham Hotspur booked the League Cup final clash with Manchester United despite a second leg 3-2 loss to Burnley.
Spur won the semifinal 6-4 over the second division side on aggregate.
Roman Pavlyuchenko scored in the 118th minute for Spurs to advance.
Goals from Robbie Blake, Chris McCann and Jay Rodriguez wiped out Tottenham's 4-1 advantage from the semifinal first leg two weeks ago.
The away goal didn't count in Burnley's favor until the additional 30 minutes were over, and the League Championship side leveled at 4-4 with two minutes remaining.
But then Pavlyuchenko struck and Jermain Defoe added another in the 120th.
Manchester United beat second division Derby County (II) 4-2 on aggregate.
