(AP photo)LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur finally ended lowly Newport County's brave FA Cup run with a 2-0 win in a fourth-round replay at Wembley on Wednesday. Spurs, the eight-times FA Cup winners, were just eight minutes away from a humiliating exit when England striker Harry Kane scored to salvage a 1-1 draw away to fourth-tier Newport last month. The FA Cup has been a huge financial boost for Newport, with their run to this stage earning them at least £700,000 ($972,000, 792,000 euros). Since the original tie, Newport had lost twice, while Spurs had beaten Manchester United and drawn at Liverpool. Son played a superbly weighted ball into the box and Lamela slipped a shot between the legs of Day.
