Tottenham booked their place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup after thrashing Millwall in the last ever cup game to be staged at the current White Hart Lane.<\/p>\n
A Heung-min Son hat-trick and goals from Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Vincent Janssen ensured Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s side enjoyed a largely hassle free passage to the final four of the competition. But an early injury to Harry Kane slightly took the gloss off an otherwise productive afternoon.<\/p>\n
Spurs started brightly from the off as they attempted to make light work of their League One opponents.<\/p>\n
Kane was played in by Kieran Trippier down the right flank but was forced to take aim from a tight angle, before landing heavily on his ankle. The striker decided he could not carry on and was replaced by Eriksen after only six minutes of action.<\/p>\n
And the reshuffle worked in the hosts\u2019 favour just past the half-hour as Eriksen showed a clinical touch in front of goal to put Spurs ahead.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Alli cushioned a bouncing ball in the penalty area before allowing Eriksen to take over and find the far corner with a drilled finish. The sense of relief to Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s celebrations was clear to see, as the hosts pushed forward for more.<\/p>\n Having watched Kane depart, Son took over the central striker role and he produced a stunning finish to double the home side\u2019s lead approaching the half time interval.<\/p>\n
