Tottenham Hotspur booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup after beating Aston Villa 2-0 at White Hart Lane this afternoon.
Mauricio Pochettino made wholesale changes to his starting eleven but the fringe players struggled to break down the Championship side during the opening forty-five minutes as the two sides went in to half-time level at 0-0.
However, Spurs finally broke Villa’s resolve in the 71st minute when Ben Davies was on hand to head home from 8 yards following a cross from substitute Kevin Nkoudou.
Any hopes Villa had of stealing an equaliser and forcing a replay were dampened when Hueng -min Son swept home from a Moussa Sissoko cross in the 80th minute to seal a 2-0 win for Tottenham.
The victory sees the north Londoners book their place in the fourth round draw which will take place on Monday evening.
