Son shines in rout as Fernando hits hat-trick

this season in League Two, had the first chance for the underdogs but fired wide.

But just as hopes started to grow inside Prenton Park, Aurier scored a stunner in the 40th minute, the defender finding the top corner from 25 yards.

And three minutes after the restart Son burst down the right to cut back for Llorente, who fired home.

Harvey Gilmour had a shot tipped over from six yards by Paulo Gazzaniga before Spurs scored two in three minutes to seal their place in the fourth round.

Son, after a lovely turn to find space, teed up Aurier to fire the third and the South Korean got his deserved goal when he rolled one past Davies in the 57th minute. Oliver Skipp then set up Llorente for the fifth in the 71st minute and the Spaniard secured the match ball moments later when he turned home Lucas Moura’s cross.

Pochettino even gave Kane a run out and the England striker got in on the act with eight minutes to go, lifting the ball over the on-rushing Davies to complete the sevengoal rout.
