Tottenham Hotspur booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup courtesy of a 6-1 win over League One side Rochdale at Wembley on Wednesday night.
VAR dominated much of the post-match discussion, but it was a strong performance from a Tottenham side that will be desperate to land the trophy this season.
Erik Lamela looked to have sent Spurs ahead in the sixth minute of the match, but the Argentine’s effort was bizarrely ruled out courtesy of VAR.
The decision did not come back to haunt Mauricio Pochettino’s side, however, as they ensured that they would be present in the final eight of the competition.
Lamela, who is believed to collect £70,000 a week in wages at his English club, failed to get his name on the scoresheet, but the Argentine was very impressive.
He has not long been back from the hip problem that saw him miss a lot of football, but the Tottenham fans have been delighted with what they have seen in recent weeks.
