Tottenham 7 - 0 TranmereFernando Llorente scored a hat-trick as Tottenham ran amok at Tranmere, with Mauricio Pochettino’s swashbuckling side netting seven as they cruised through their FA Cup third-round tie. Llorente went close with a volley on the turn during that spell, before Tottenham went ahead in eye-catching fashion in the 40th minute. Tottenham then turned the screw after Harvey Gilmour had an attempt to half the deficit. Son took a superb touch and played wide to the overlapping full-back, whose low effort Mark Ellis could not clear off the line. Dele Alli went close and Timothy Eyoma became Spurs’ latest debutant in-between Llorente leaving to a standing ovation and being replaced by Kane.
