MINSTER TIE FOR MOYESIE Bournemouth v Boreham Wood Peterborough v QPR Southampton v Coventry Everton v Brentford Man United/Aston Villa v Middlesbrough Liverpool v Cardiff Nottm Forest v Leicester Wolves v Norwich
Spurs get Mour from big hitters on bench
side lacked teeth. A back-heel flick, from a player who has now failed to produce in a number of different positions since Conte took charge, was as good as it got for the home side early on.
Ryan Sessegnon cut inside to fire a shot just wide of the post, but Tottenham never really looked like scoring until Kane and Moura were brought on alongside Oliver Skipp to effect the triple whammy.
Ryan Cooney had to call for his inhaler soon after and, having moved out of position, still had it in his hand when he chased out to the touchline (right) to upend Doherty unceremoniously.
Without that untimely tightness in the chest, would Winks have been given that chance to level the scores?
Following that lucky break on 74 minutes, the North London club never looked back and Moura and Kane killed the Shrimps off with two strikes in the last five minutes.
The romance of the cup is that we will never know, the cruelness of the cup is the record books won’t show just how close a contest this was.
For now, though, somewhat it means Spurs can go off in pursuit, yet again, for some long-awaited silverware and Morecambe’s noisy following can head back north knowing their team had done them proud.
