Nottingham, four-time champions of this tournament although the last ones were in the 90s, ended the match one man short with Mangala sent off in the 75th minute.
Tottenham, who have also lifted the trophy four times and were finalists two years ago, did not take advantage.
The match broke down at the start of the second half. Jesse Lingard managed to send the ball through to Lodi who, unopposed, got to the edge of the area and from there beat Fraser Forster. After seven, Lingard scored, with a header, after a pass from Sam Surridge.
