Spurs romp to semi-final as Magpies ripped apart

Tottenham 4 Newcastle 0

Mauricio Pochettino’s start to life in north London has not been without its teething problems, yet Spurs fans are now beginning to see the performances they yearn for.

The recent improvements were evident at White Hart Lane last night, when Nabil Bentaleb, Nacer Chadli, Harry Kane and Roberto Soldado all scored in a 4-0 demolition of Newcastle. It puts Spurs within a two-legged semi-final against Sheffield United of Wembley, and helped made amends for October’s 2-1 defeat to Alan Pardew’s men at White Hart Lane.
