Taxi. Where to? White Hart Lane, please. Righty-o. I'm a big Millwall | :00:10. | :00:28. | |
fan, me. We haven't played them for years. Last time we played them, you | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
scored. Times have changed since then. The game has gone mad, hasn't | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
it? Some of them celebs, do me a favour. Since we last played them we | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
made it to the FA Cup final. Loved that day. Not the result, mind. Our | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
bomber Harris played up front that day, use our gaffer now. We've been | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
brilliant this season. It would be great to see old Harry again. You | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
know we put a lion in that boy's heart. One of your own? Ha! Anyway, | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
here we are, White Hart Lane. He seems up for it. Welcome to the FA | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Cup quarterfinal, Tottenham versus Millwall. | :01:21. | :02:01. | |
This will be the final FA Cup tie to be played at the old White Hart | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
Lane. The development of Tottenham's new 61,000 seat stadium continues | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
apace. The old ground is sure to have a raucous atmosphere for this | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
London derby. Millwall of League 1 have already knocked out three | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
Premier League clubs in this season's competitions. There are no | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
replays, so we could have extra time or penalties to decide the tie. | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
Welcome Jermaine Jenas, and we have reunited the old Sheeran Sheringham | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
which is difficult to say. You were pretty good in your day. Cannot | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
believe you pass this, Terry, there's no way I would have. I've | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
told people in a few interviews, there is no way you should pass from | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
a position like that. Beautifully sliced Finnish. You also played in | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
the game back in 1990 at the Den, great memories, no doubt? Fantastic. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
The best of my career. We came through the ranks together, playing | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
in the youth team, reserves, got into the first-team. Great memories | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
looking back on these goals at the old a proper place to play. Always a | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
warm welcome one got there as an away player, that's for sure. You | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
were the record scorer for a long time until Neil Harris, the now | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
manager, took over. People don't realise that was before the Premier | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
League, there was a division before that. Football didn't exist before | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
the Premier League. Scored a lot of goals, had a lot of fun along the | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
way. Millwall have beaten three Premier League sides along the way | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
but this is a different task. Yes, only conceded one in their last ten. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
It will be a very difficult day for Spurs. Having said that they have | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
not come up against the opposition they are about to face today. You've | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
seen Millwall a few times this season, you were saying earlier, | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
they are on an impressive run? Really good, seven, eight games | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
unbeaten at the moment. Even before that they've got a rigid formation. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
4-4- two, two banks of four, get it up to their front two who are very | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
good, both can score goals, one big one, one little one. Spurs on a good | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
run as well, Jermaine. They've been absolutely sensational at White Hart | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Lane this season. Since being knocked out of the Europa League | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
we've seen a shift in Mauricio Pochettino's focus on desperately | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
wanting to win a trophy. And the performance they put out against | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
Fulham was sensational. It has been a strong run, and they are playing | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
with such confidence, could be a tough afternoon for Millwall. | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Impressed by the progress of your former club Tottenham? Without a | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
doubt. Pochettino has got his team performing. To a man they are very | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
good and as a team they are exceptional. That's all you can ask | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
other manager, to get your team performing. What do you make of | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Spurs, kind of an unusual season, at times very consistent at home, and | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
some dodgy results in Europe? I think they'll be up for it. As you | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
said in the opener, this is the last FA Cup tie here. They have a great | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
history, albeit they have not won it since 1991. The fans are desperate | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
for it. Could be a big season for them, still. Certainly could be. | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
Let's confirm both teams. This is how Spurs line-up. Michael Vaughan | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
is one of four changes to the side that beat Everton a week ago -- | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
Vorm. The same back three that started that match. Kieran Trippier | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
and Harry Winks come in for their fourth successive FA Cup starts. Son | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
Heung-Min is recalled, he and the in form Dele Alli will support striker | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
Harry Kane. Hat-trick hero at Fulham in the last round, starting against | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
the club where he launched his career five years ago. Let's take a | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
look at the Millwall side. Tom King only made his league debut last | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
month, continuing to deputise for the injured Jordan Archer. The club | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
stalwart, Tony Craig, captains the side in a back four with no Premier | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
League experience. On loan winger Jed Wallace makes his first start | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
since returning from a calf injury. Upfront fit again Steve Morison | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
reunited with Lee Gregory, the pair have scored 17 goals between them | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
since the beginning of last season. The Millwall manager Neil Harris is | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
a Lions legend. As a player his 138 goals broke a club record that was | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
set by Teddy Sheringham back in the day. He has played in an FA Cup | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
final for Millwall, now he has steered them to the quarterfinals. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Mark Clement went to the seaside to meet him. | :07:09. | :07:17. | |
Good chest and a good drive and a really fine goal by Harris. | :07:18. | :07:28. | |
You've got these strong south London credentials but you are a Southend | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
home bird which is why we are here today? Yes, this has always been my | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
home, this is where I grew up, where my friends are, where my family up. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Canvey Island just over there. You've got the pier. Just telling | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
them how perfect it is to live down here. Beautiful, isn't it? I live | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
about 15 minutes away. Amazing who you meet down here. Being by the | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
sea, being near the family, I think certainly helps me focus and do my | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
job. You could not have imagined when you turned up down there nearly | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
20 years ago the bond you were going to form with that football club? No. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
There's been some highs and some lows, must admit. I've been | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
fortunate. The club suits me as a person. Suits my ethics as well. | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
During my playing days it was always said I wasn't the best player on the | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
pitch but I would give everything and that's what the fans want to | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
see, playing with that pride, passion and drive. I always gave | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
that. I believe that gave me a good starting point to be manager. You | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
mentioned highs and lows. I want to ask where the 2004 FA Cup final fit | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
in, you were having some trouble at the time, Wisey didn't fancy you, | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
was that bittersweet? Yes, moments when I was not playing regularly. | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
That was a slight disappointment. It's been a hard, hard data Neil | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Harris. What that experience has enabled me to do is to pass back | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
onto the players in this cup run. Played in four Cummings and Cummings | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
scores! 90th minute of the match! Because of the life-threatening | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
illness you had back in 2001, do you think you've got a perspective and | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
subjectivity that maybe allows you to attack your work in a different | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
manner? The perspective for me, I can look back sometimes and say, | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
let's put this into reality, let's be disappointed when we've thrown | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
the game away that we should have won but let's get up in the morning | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
in the cold light of day and say, let's take the positives out of it, | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
how can we get better, how does that not happen again? I'd like to think | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
it certainly made me a stronger person. Do you think you can beat | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
Spurs this weekend? Of course we can. It's a one-on-one fight on the | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
day. Being underdogs suits us, Millwall Football Club is at its | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
best with its back to the wall as an underdog. We will certainly embraced | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
the occasion. We've got nothing to lose. Everybody expects Spurs to | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
win. Nothing to lose but of a lot to gain. Well said. His done a terrific | :10:17. | :10:26. | |
job, unbeaten in 17 games as well now. Like he said, the Millwall | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
unity, they will come together today. No one likes them. They were | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
come here and have a bit of fun today. Put in a workmanlike | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
performance. As I said earlier, very solid, rigid, two banks of four. Get | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
the ball up to the front two, very good. You never know what happens in | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
a one-off tie. You've had a look at those two upfront? They will be a | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
handful today. Not many times Tottenham will come up against a | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
two, in the Premier League anyway, two out and out centre forwards. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Millwall will not be afraid to get it for it and the vast majority, the | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
two will be linking and working together. That was after a minute in | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
their game against Watford. Getting the ball out wide. Long ball up, no | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
harm in doing that. Look how well they work together. They know each | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
other's game, they understand it, they've been around the block, both | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
of them, if you times. Should actually do better. At every | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
opportunity today the ball will be thrown into the box, thrown up | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
towards them, one to flick it on, and they will be a threat. The other | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
aspect is that they are pretty solid at the back as well, only conceding | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
one in their last ten? It tells you they are very organised and he's got | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
them playing the Whiteway. The thing that stood out for me, against | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
Premier League opposition they have a percentage of about 38% which | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
tells me they like to drop off. The record of unbeaten runs in their | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
last ten games which is unbelievable. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
A bit like Leicester? It is. They put the ball in the channel, get | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
them chasing and causing problems. I think Spurs should be expecting the | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
same today. What will Spurs have to do differently than when they face a | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
Premier League side? Well, Millwall will have no problem about sitting | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
off and letting Tottenham come onto them. They know they will have a lot | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
of possession. They've just got to be patient, work the ball. They've | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
got a lot of good players. Big day for Harry win to find passes. He'll | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
have Little Thompson against him, who likes a challenge, he'll be | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
trying to leave one on him early on. For Tottenham they've got to kind of | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
grind them down, make them move more than what they normally do. In the | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
championship, in the First Division, teams don't really like to break | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
teams down. Where is Tottenham have the capacity to be able to pass it, | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
come back out, move out the other side, and they do that so well as | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
well. Let's go pitch side for two men who played with distinction for | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
these two clubs. Good afternoon, two former captains | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
here. Former Spurs captain Michael Dawson at Hull City, and Paul | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
Robinson. Huge day for Millwall, they will not come here with any | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
fear and they certainly have big backing inside White Hart Lane. It's | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
fantastic and obviously the fans will be in good voice. With the FA | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Cup you get a lot of away fans, they will be making a lot of noise. The | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
challenge for Neil Harris is to put a team on the pitch for fans to | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
identify with. To knock out three Premier League teams so far they | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
have certainly done that. And Michael, Mauricio Pochettino has | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
come strong again, he had to today, who is key for you? Armstrong after | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
the only scraping through -- he has gone strong. Harry Kane in fine | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
form, scoring goals, I'm sure he'll be looking to get on the scoresheet | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
today. Dele Alli, another top player. Certainly Millwall will need | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
to be at their best. Harry Kane is somebody you played alongside at | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
Millwall, what was he like as a youngster? Did you see him having | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
this career path? Hand on heart I would probably say for him to be | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
leading the line for club and country, to be the leading Premier | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
League scorer, that was a tough thing to say at that time, but he | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
had a chance. He had a good work ethic, good head on young shoulders, | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
and the ruthless thing of all top strikers of wanting to score goals, | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
wanting to work and his trade. Even as an 18-year-old he scored some | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
important goals. Fantastic to see him doing well. Spurs go in as | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
favourites. They've challenged in the last couple of seasons in the | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Premier League. Do they now need to make the next step to get a trophy, | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
get some silverware and show that they can contend? been a long time | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
since they have had silverware, 2012 since they were last at Wembley, | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
semifinal. Great opportunity to do it today and that is what they will | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
be doing, the fans here today, at a new stadium, got to get silverware | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
to take the next step. It is a huge match for both teams. Predictions? | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
3-1 Spurs. 2-1 Millwall. We have one of each, surprise surprise, I will | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
not make any score predictions but I predict it will be loud because it | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
is already allowed in here, Gary. STUDIO: One of Tottenham's Keith men | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
is Toby Alderweireld, who is regarded, and is, one of the best | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
defenders in the Premier League -- key mental and formed an excellent | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
partnership with his fellow defender Jan Vertonghen. Alderweireld wants | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
to get his hands on an FA Cup medal, just like Garth Crooks. | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
You and the Tongan have played together quite a lot over the years. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
Can you tell me how many games you've lost in the 128 games you've | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
played in in Holland and England? I don't know, 35, 40. 14. That is | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
pretty amazing, isn't it? Surprised? Jan is doing pretty well isn't he? | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
CHUCKLES You've been in London a little while | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
you settled here and comfortable? Yes, everything is well, my family | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
is good, I feel at home here, I bought an apartment as well so I | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
have settled well. We heard a few rumours you are a bit homesick. | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
People ask about me and of course I miss my family and I miss home but I | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
love it here. If I want to feel that good I wouldn't perform on the pitch | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
-- if I wouldn't feel that good. But of course if you ask me if I miss | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
Belgium and my family, of course I miss them but it doesn't affect my | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
game. Now we have a situation where one by one this group is re-signing | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
their contracts to Tottenham. How close are you to committing to | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
Tottenham? I focus on the pitch, I do what I do, it is all rumours and | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
there is nothing I can say about it, so I just try and focus on the pitch | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
and do my performance and help the team in that way, my contract is | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
something I don't have control of now. You're playing Millwall, do you | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
know much about the rivalry between Spurs and Millwall? I know that | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
every London derby is special, especially this one, or we try and | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
focus on the team we play against. It's going to be a massive | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
atmosphere so I'm looking forward to it at the Lane. The Millwall fans | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
are very intense and will bring lots of atmosphere. Yes but I love all | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
fans and ours will take over and I love to play at the Lane and base -- | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
they really support the team and give something extra. Were you aware | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
of the FA Cup as a kid growing up in yes, of course. It's the biggest cup | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
in the world. There is Belgium's up, Holland's up but the FA Cup is the | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
biggest one in the world so it is a big prize. | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
And are you aware of the traditions with the FA Cup and Tottenham | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
Hotspur Football? I don't want to look too much at the | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
past, just the future. We have to do our best to bring one home. Harry | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
Kane, Danny Rose, or the other English boys haven't mentioned this? | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
No, they just say we have to win the next tournament. | :18:45. | :18:45. | |
I think Garth Crooks was desperate for him to acknowledge the fact he'd | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
won the FA Cup. I don't think Toby had a clue, did he? Terrific central | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
defender, that's for sure. Me he is the best central defender in the | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
Premier League, he has everything to his game. We have a graphic of him | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
playing at other clubs here and where the team has stood from a | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
defensive record. Ajax people might say he was a lot younger but look at | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
that one, 2000 14-15 season, Southampton, second in differences | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
in the Premier League at that point shows how valuable he is as a | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
defender -- 2014 - 15. He never panics and doesn't dive in at the | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
wrong moment. He chooses the right moment to make his move, he reads | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
the situation well, has a little nibble, he doesn't switch off, lots | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
of defenders would switch off, he knows there is danger and gets into | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
a good position. This is an unbelievable part of Toby's game, so | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
calm and comfortable on the ball and in the situations strikers and | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
midfielders start coming to life because he has a whole different | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
array of passing. That is a low fade, that is a midfielder's pass, | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
you don't expect centre halves to hit balls like that and the | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
relationship everyone knows he has with Dele Alli over the years, Dele | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
Alli makes the run and he casually found him over 50 yards. In this | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
game, that comfortable but he says, let me do it with my left foot, and | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
sprays it out of his left foot, so, and comfortable on the ball and he's | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
the best in the business at centre-half. Is a fraud you always | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
weigh up who you are playing against and I look at Toby and think could I | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
do bully him,, I'm not sure? I think if you want a running behind or have | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
a scrap with him he can do everything. Watching his interview, | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
should Tottenham be concerned that he was noncommittal in terms of his | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
long-term future at Tottenham? He didn't really want to get involved | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
in that chat. He wasn't expecting the question, talking about the big | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
FA Cup quarterfinal coming up and all of a sudden the contract comes | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
up. They wouldn't want to lose him, would they? Not at all, I played | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
with some good centre halves in my time at Tottenham, Sol Campbell and | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
Ledley King and he is up there but he has some body alongside him, | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Vertonghen, a great relationship, and that builds a great basis in the | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
team. It is now four years since Mauricio Pochettino arrived in the | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
Premier League and is fast becoming one of the most highly rated | :21:15. | :21:15. | |
managers in Europe. Ho-ho-ho it's magic. | :21:16. | :21:34. | |
# Ho-ho-ho it's magic never believe it's not so # | :21:35. | :21:49. | |
You have gone with another strong side today. How much importance to | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
you now place on the FA Cup is a realistic chance of some silverware | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
this season? I think it is very important. We are only one game to | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
go to Wembley. I think it's very important day for us, the FA Cup and | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
the Premier League, and it is a massive game for us today. We have | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
Alan Shearer in the studio. Earlier this week you said you thought Harry | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Kane could go on and beat his goal-scoring record. What is it that | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
you see in Harry that makes you say that? Now that I was thinking a | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
little bit it will be very difficult for Harry because it is an amazing, | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
amazing record. We were talking a little bit before. Harry needs to | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
score 20 goals in the next ten years every season, 20 Premier League | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
goals to try to catch Alan. I think it was unbelievable what Alan made | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
in the Premier League, and it will be tough for Harry to catch up with | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
him. Can he do it? You hope not! LAUGHTER | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
I said that without moving my lips! If he stays free from injury and of | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
course if he stays here because over the years Tottenham have sold a lot | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
of their best players. It depends whether Tottenham are going to be | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
successful over the next two or three years, I would imagine. What I | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
would say about Harry, and I am a huge fan, there was a time in my | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
career similar to his age now where I thought... The penny dropped and I | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
thought I deserved to be in that list of players up there at that | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
time. I think he's at that stage of his career now where he thinks that. | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
He can do almost anything, he can score almost any girl, whether it's | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
headers, left foot, right foot and when you get to the stage of your | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
career -- score almost any goal. More often than not there are two | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
guys looking to pick you up, you are not battling just one or -- and | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
that's the sign of the player. No backlift, in the back of the net. He | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
can do this because those Everton defenders are happy with him there, | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
43 yards and all of a sudden the ball is in the back of the net so | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
they are not happy at all. He has a hell of a record and I am a huge fan | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
of his. He is handling the situation well. For the third consecutive year | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
he has scored 20 plus goals now so I think he is comfortable at this | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
level and comfortable being talked about as a top player and he will | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
only get better. It is probably not for you to say but in many ways he | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
is a bit like Alan Shearer, isn't he? Good in the air, likes the shot | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
from long-range. I've been asked this a couple of times this week. He | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
has a little bit more than Alan Shearer! | :24:35. | :24:35. | |
LAUGHTER He passes the ball as well. This guy | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
never passed, he shot, which is fine, when you play with a centre | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
forward and he shoots you know you can only get the ball off the | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
goalkeeper or a rebound but Harry has a little bit extra in as much as | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
he can drop a little bit deeper and thread the ball through, which | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
worked so well with Harry Kane, one combines and one goes long. He has | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
already gone past us in terms of hat-tricks for Tottenham. He has a | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
bit of everything. Was there ever a time in your career when you thought | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
I enjoy it at this level and enjoy the way people are talking about me | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
and the penny drops and you think I love playing at the top level. | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
Without a doubt. He has masses of the Dylan Sage that he doesn't rely | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
on pace. He still manages to get that yard -- he has a massive | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
advantage that he doesn't rely on pace. You look at Henry and you | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
think you are going to get slower. He's obviously a marked man and has | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
a reputation so does that make it harder? It does, as we say he has a | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
bit of everything. If you cannot run someone you drop off deep and if you | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
can't beat them in the year you can shoot from distance and he has | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
something and can score from anywhere. They have to keep him. | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
That will depend on how Tottenham successful Tottenham are going to be | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
in the next two or three years. It's inevitable if he keeps on improving | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
and scoring the goals it is inevitable that interest will come | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
in from other clubs. Whistle Pochettino interviewed and that's | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
the other thing -- we saw Pochettino interviewed. He's been looked with | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Barcelona. It depends what Tottenham want to be, they have this fantastic | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
stadium and fantastic training ground and the message to the fans | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
is we're going to be a Champions League club, challenging for titles | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
and to do that they need top players so they will have to keep their | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
players and to do that you have to pay them top money and that is where | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
spares may find it difficult at times. Hickam Millwall finally, they | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
kept Spurs waiting a while in the tunnel. Interesting to see those | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
pictures of that massive stadium looming over White Hart Lane. You | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
deserve a shot at this because of how well they have played in this | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
competition. They have beaten three Premier League teams to get here so | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
they deserve that. I hope it doesn't faze them. They've got one or two | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
experienced players which they will need and they will also need a bit | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
of luck but good luck to them, they deserve to be here. Big day for | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
Millwall, Tottenham against Millwall for a place in the semifinals of The | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
Emirates FA Cup. Your commentators are Danny Murphy and Steve Wilson. | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Gary, good afternoon everybody. 115 years on | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
from the first White Hart Lane has opened its doors for the last FA Cup | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
tie to be played at this famous old ground. 202 matches including 12 | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
semifinals, which is where these two sides are hoping to be in tomorrow | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
night's draw. Spares hungry for success, second in the Premier | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
League but with Chelsea almost out of sight in that competition in the | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
FA Cup looks then most likely route to a trophy and ending that wait for | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
silverware that stretches back to 2008. | :27:51. | :28:00. | |
Their opposition, Millwall, two divisions below but under Neil | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
Harris bidding for promotion to the Championship, and they are the only | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
side in the top four leagues in England yet to lose a game in 2017. | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
Their last defeat was December 17th, 17 games ago. And there is the man | :28:17. | :28:27. | |
so far of 2017. As we saw that list of goal-scorers in the top five | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
European leagues, Harry Kane but this is the company he is keeping | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
now. That list said: Griezmann 12, 11. Skeete, Lacazette and Suarez 13, | :28:36. | :28:45. | |
Kane and Cavani 14, Messi 16. He is in amongst the best of the best. | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
Spares yet to play top-flight side this season's FA Cup and the | :28:52. | :29:02. | |
furthest they have had to travel is Fulham. The cup keeper Michel Vorm | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
keeps his place as does the back three of Eric Dier, Alderweireld and | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
Vertonghen. Kieran Trippier and Harry Winks come into the middle | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
four, Son Heung-min who has a good goal-scoring record in this | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
competition, and Dele Alli who has a good goal-scoring record in every | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
competition support Harry Kane whose first-ever senior honour would have | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
been the Millwall young Player of the Year in 2012 at the end of a | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
loan spell which Kane says helps to make him a man. Three Premier League | :29:31. | :29:35. | |
scalps already for Millwall but therefore former Spurs trainee | :29:36. | :29:38. | |
Jordan Archer, the goalkeeper, is injured, so Tom King continues to | :29:39. | :29:47. | |
deputise in goal. 21-year-old midfielder Ben Thompson is very | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
highly rated. Upfront Gregory has 14 goals this season and Morison 15 | :29:53. | :30:01. | |
goals. Danny Murphy, Millwall are the last of the minnows in this | :30:02. | :30:05. | |
season's FA Cup. It has been a tournament of upsets so far, but can | :30:06. | :30:06. | |
they provide one more? They will believe they can. They | :30:07. | :30:14. | |
deserve great credit for what they have already done. Doesn't matter | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
what level of football you play at, if you go 17 games unbeaten and you | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
are a good side. They've obviously got leaders who organise each other, | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
good defending, clean sheets, we were talking about earlier, weren't | :30:28. | :30:34. | |
we? Unbeatable Daly unbelievable. Options on the bench for Spurs | :30:35. | :30:40. | |
include Christian Eriksen, he of multiple assists this season. Of | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
course disappointment for Onyedinma and Ferguson who both have been left | :30:45. | :30:51. | |
out of the starting line-up today but are amongst the substitute. | :30:52. | :31:00. | |
Martin Atkinson is the referee. And when you're up against Harry Kane | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
and Dele Alli then you know you are up against a very, very good duo. | :31:04. | :31:11. | |
When Harry Met Ali, that line must have been used many times, but | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
dealing with it is something different. I'd not actually heard | :31:16. | :31:21. | |
that, that's a good one. Do you know what? Neither had I, but I thought | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
somebody must have used it. Neil Harris played in the cup final in | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
2004 on the losing side to Manchester United. Can he died | :31:32. | :31:38. | |
Millwall to the cup semifinal? -- can he guide them? We know Arsenal | :31:39. | :31:42. | |
are there, we know Manchester City are there into the last four. Will | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
it be Tottenham or Millwall with Chelsea and Manchester United to | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
battle it out tomorrow for the last place? It is Millwall all in yellow | :31:51. | :31:56. | |
from left-to-right, of course. With Martin Atkinson in charge. And | :31:57. | :32:01. | |
Tottenham Hotspur in the white and dark blue. | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
Eric Dier to Alderweireld. Vertonghen. | :32:06. | :32:16. | |
It's going to be a boisterous atmosphere. There's that ball from | :32:17. | :32:23. | |
Alderweireld, first of the afternoon. Not quite on the mark | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
with his first attempt. Actually played a couple of games with Neil | :32:29. | :32:32. | |
Harris, came to Liverpool on trial, played a couple of reserve games | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
together. Great lad, actually. Decent footballer. Really nice lad. | :32:37. | :32:42. | |
Pleased to see him doing so well with Millwall. Excellent | :32:43. | :32:48. | |
goal-scorer, and proving to be an excellent manager. That was the | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
first flick on from Gregory towards Morison. Went through to Vorm. Here | :32:54. | :33:08. | |
is Wanyama. Trippier, whose delivery from the right-hand side, he doesn't | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
often get the chance to show it because Kyle Walker is just so good, | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
but Trippier never let them down. I'm a big fan of his. Last time we | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
were here, you are right, his delivery is up there with any | :33:23. | :33:23. | |
full-back I have seen, tremendous. Son Heung-Min has actually scored | :33:24. | :33:38. | |
four goals in this tournament in seven appearances in his career in | :33:39. | :33:45. | |
the FA Cup. Kane, just nicked away from him in the nick of time. But | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
lost again. Son Heung-Min could not wriggle through. Wanyama, and now a | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
chance for Trippier to deliver. Brings it on to his left. Cleared | :33:56. | :34:04. | |
away. It's always hard when you are a lower league team coming you come | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
to a big club, you want to get some touches of the ball and settle | :34:08. | :34:13. | |
yourself. At the moment obviously Tottenham are dominating possession. | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
Ben Davies, new contract signed this week. Kept in, I think, by Dele | :34:19. | :34:25. | |
Alli. Millwall were hoping to get in behind for the corner. | :34:26. | :34:32. | |
Gregory couldn't get it back to Thompson, it has only gone to Son | :34:33. | :34:41. | |
Heung-Min. Kane and Dele Alli inside the penalty area. Winks! It's on | :34:42. | :34:47. | |
target, and Tom King treated it with respect. Hooked out but only to | :34:48. | :35:05. | |
Troicki once more. -- Trippier. Wanyama holding off O'Brien. Here is | :35:06. | :35:06. | |
Harry will. -- Winks. Tottenham have been camped | :35:07. | :35:21. | |
inside Millwall territory. Winks around the corner back to Son. We | :35:22. | :35:29. | |
saw the Winks shot a little bit earlier, not a bad effort, keeper | :35:30. | :35:36. | |
did well. Got to be careful, Millwall, not to pay them too much | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
respect, dropping off too deep, letting them have space to shoot | :35:41. | :35:44. | |
from there. Decent save for Tom King, the young goalkeeper, who is | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
just sort of finding his way, really, in senior football. Released | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
by Crystal Palace. Had a loan spell at Welling and another at Braintree. | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
Just celebrated his 22nd birthday, the Millwall deputy. Got to feel for | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
Jordan Archer, young goalkeeper, Spurs trainee, groin injury. Missed | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
the last four games. I'm told he did everything that could possibly be | :36:09. | :36:11. | |
done to be involved today but in the end beaten by the injury and denied | :36:12. | :36:17. | |
the chance to face his former club. That's a good ball, Trippier to | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
Harry Kane, definitely onside. King stood up at the post. No kind of | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
angle for Harry Kane but he went for it anyway. I think he has hurt | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
himself. But why is he shooting from there? We know he has scored a lot | :36:30. | :36:39. | |
of goals. He has done something. This is the constant fear... As he | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
lands on his right ankle. Nagging fear for Spurs fans all the time, | :36:45. | :36:48. | |
particularly given that Vincent Janssen has not looked to be an able | :36:49. | :36:52. | |
deputy so far. We didn't quite see it then. As he has taken the shop | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
and he lands on his right foot, just loses balance with the ankle. | :36:57. | :37:09. | |
He's off the pitch so play can carry on and Harry Winks is going to take | :37:10. | :37:19. | |
the corner. Tracking it away from Wallace. Winks. Needed three | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
attempts to make that absolutely safe. | :37:25. | :37:35. | |
This is the Winks chance we have just seen. Harry Kane, meantime, | :37:36. | :37:47. | |
back on his feet, but hobbling behind the goal. Son Heung-Min, | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
accelerating towards Cooper. Dele Alli inside the penalty area, good | :37:53. | :37:57. | |
feet by the South Korean, then stayed on his feet. King at the post | :37:58. | :38:01. | |
again, for all five saves already from Tom King. Done the same again, | :38:02. | :38:08. | |
Son. Dele Alli was therefore a tap in. Seems to be shoot on sight for | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
Spurs at the moment. It's greedy. Lack of awareness or greed, one of | :38:14. | :38:15. | |
the two. Harry Kane is coming off. Well, | :38:16. | :38:32. | |
there's no point taking a big risk. They are dominating the game. | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
Obviously you would like him out there, and fingers crossed for him, | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
we know they struggle in that area, we always talk about it. Here is | :38:40. | :38:47. | |
Kieran Trippier. Jan Vertonghen, that's a good ball in. | :38:48. | :38:58. | |
Well, that's a sad sight for Tottenham fans. Yeah. He's had a | :38:59. | :39:05. | |
couple of ankle issues in the past. Maybe we'll see better. As he comes | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
down, there... Ooh, yeah. His right ankle caught between the legs of the | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
defender and bends horribly. Complete accident, obviously. Yeah. | :39:16. | :39:23. | |
Will it be a disappointment to Gareth Southgate as well? England | :39:24. | :39:26. | |
with two games coming up, friendly against Germany and the match | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
against Lithuania in World Cup qualifying. Harry Kane is yet to | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
play for England under Gareth Southgate because of injury. Well, I | :39:34. | :39:42. | |
mean, that looks a nasty one. The fact he was able to walk up the side | :39:43. | :39:45. | |
of the pitch and down the tunnel is, I would suggest, a good thing. So, | :39:46. | :39:54. | |
Christian Eriksen is getting instruction. He will be on shortly. | :39:55. | :40:03. | |
He hasn't got any confidence in the lab Janssen, has he? If the striker | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
is coming off, you would think he would go up there. Four goals for | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
Janssen since he moved here, all of them penalties. Alderweireld | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
covering. Cleared only as far as Dele Alli. | :40:18. | :41:04. | |
Harry Winks. Trippier again, that's a good ball. Unlike him, isn't it? | :41:05. | :41:11. | |
Jinxed him a bit. His quality from their normally very good -- from | :41:12. | :41:21. | |
there. So, Christian Eriksen comes on. Jan Vertonghen taking the | :41:22. | :41:23. | |
Captain's armband. Looks at the moment like Son | :41:24. | :41:45. | |
Heung-Min and Dele Alli are almost going to play as a two with Eriksen | :41:46. | :41:53. | |
just behind. Here is Son. Ten minutes has been almost all Spurs | :41:54. | :41:56. | |
but the story is the injury to Harry Kane so far unfortunately. Here is | :41:57. | :41:58. | |
Eriksen. Jan Vertonghen. Every yellow shirt now behind the | :41:59. | :42:20. | |
ball. Ben Davies weights, thought about the shot, then clips it | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
cleverly away to the far side, Trippier inside to Son. Eriksen. | :42:25. | :42:31. | |
Decent block. And here goes Morison, looking up and seeing where Gregory | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
is, and just behind Gregory, dealt with by Jan Vertonghen. Do you know | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
what? He did the first bit so, so well. Great first touch from | :42:42. | :42:47. | |
Morison. Didn't need to give it away, had time to settle on the ball | :42:48. | :42:52. | |
and wait for some support. This is the foul on Son. No arguments there. | :42:53. | :42:59. | |
The back four of Millwall have a really nice shape but they are too | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
narrow. If you go too narrow, you make it so easy for them to get | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
crosses in. You've got to find that balance. You may remember Harry Kane | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
got injured in September against Sunderland and did not play again | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
until early November, and that was an injury to the same ankle. Winks | :43:19. | :43:27. | |
with the free kick. Millwall with the goalkick. That's disappointing. | :43:28. | :43:37. | |
Reached the play-off final last season with Millwall, Neil Harris. | :43:38. | :43:50. | |
And lost the final two -- to Barnsley. Nickname chopper, | :43:51. | :43:59. | |
presumably in reference to Ron Harris. | :44:00. | :44:02. | |
They've not done much other than defend, Millwall, but they've got | :44:03. | :44:21. | |
through it. Stay in the game early on, get a bit of confidence. They'll | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
be pleased they have not conceded an early goal, there's nothing worse. | :44:26. | :44:33. | |
Here's Winks. Behind off Jed Wallace for the Spurs | :44:34. | :44:56. | |
corner kick. The wide men so far have been almost auxiliary | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
full-backs. Because the back four is so narrow. Very similar to what | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
Aston Villa did hear a couple of rounds ago. So, Christian Eriksen to | :45:06. | :45:16. | |
take. Alderweireld trying to get the near post flick but it was Morison | :45:17. | :45:19. | |
who made last contact. Another Spurs corner. If you are just joining us, | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
Harry Kane substituted in the seventh minute with what looked like | :45:26. | :45:33. | |
a nasty injury to his right ankle. Eriksen's Corner carefully delivered | :45:34. | :45:40. | |
into the box. Space here for Jan Vertonghen, he's used it | :45:41. | :45:45. | |
intelligently. Son Heung-Min couldn't quite reach its. Yeah, | :45:46. | :45:46. | |
unlucky. Winks has started brightly. Good little pass from Vertonghen, a | :45:47. | :46:01. | |
few yards ahead of Son, who now has the responsibility of trying to run | :46:02. | :46:04. | |
in behind, find the space, give them a focal point. There is the view of | :46:05. | :46:12. | |
the day. Only a bit higher than us. Was just thinking, I wouldn't fancy | :46:13. | :46:23. | |
that. Trippier, Dele Alli in behind. Well, little bit of a let off. | :46:24. | :46:26. | |
Webster can clear. Here is Morison, the free kick goes | :46:27. | :46:37. | |
Tottenham's way for a foul against Steve Morison. Dele Alli here, | :46:38. | :46:43. | |
beautifully found. Yes, Trippier with the diagonal, the keep her | :46:44. | :46:50. | |
umming and ahing, in the end he got caught in no man's land and Dele | :46:51. | :46:56. | |
Alli should have done better. The time and trying to play it between | :46:57. | :47:06. | |
Wallace and Cummings. Alderweireld to Michel Vorm, Hugo Lloris amongst | :47:07. | :47:09. | |
the French Dominic substitutes. The Frenchman has only played one cup | :47:10. | :47:15. | |
tucked for Tottenham, when they drew Arsenal in the third round three | :47:16. | :47:21. | |
years ago. He doesn't always make the bench in the cup but he has | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
today. That is nicely played, Christian Eriksen. Another corner, | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
the weight of pressure continues to grow on Millwall's goal. Another | :47:32. | :47:38. | |
good move from Tottenham. Eriksen making runs behind different | :47:39. | :47:42. | |
players, getting into that space is important. | :47:43. | :47:52. | |
Eriksen with this delivery short to Dele Alli. Good positioning from | :47:53. | :48:02. | |
coupettes get ahead on that in front of Toby Alderweireld. | :48:03. | :48:11. | |
Well, the Millwall fans enjoyed that, they have a throw in deep in | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
Tottenham territory. You could see why they keep so many clean sheets. | :48:17. | :48:22. | |
I'm sure they are not quite this negative in the league but they are | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
well organised and have a very good shape. They have conceded two in 13, | :48:27. | :48:31. | |
they went 14 and a half hours without conceding at all. Now that's | :48:32. | :48:34. | |
impressive. Very well-organised team under Neil | :48:35. | :48:42. | |
Harris. It's worth saying that Millwall have | :48:43. | :48:59. | |
reached the FA Cup semifinal more recently than Spurs, beaten by Wigan | :49:00. | :49:10. | |
as Wigan went on to lift the cup. Eriksen, blocked by Thompson. | :49:11. | :49:16. | |
Millwall's number eight Ben Thompson is very highly regarded, he's been | :49:17. | :49:22. | |
given a four and a half year contract, lifetime Millwall fan, he | :49:23. | :49:29. | |
was there as a ten-year-old with his dad at that semifinal. Wallace has | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
flown forward from the right of midfield. A chance now for Craig to | :49:34. | :49:37. | |
deliver but instead goes to Williams. That's a shame, straight | :49:38. | :49:40. | |
down the midriff of Michel Vorm. It was a shame but it was a good idea. | :49:41. | :49:45. | |
They got some men forward in the box there. | :49:46. | :49:51. | |
Wanyama. Look at that run. Brilliantly found, too. Trippier | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
just couldn't control it. Hands on the head because he might have done | :49:56. | :50:00. | |
more with that. It was a great break, wasn't it? He got in behind | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
really well, SuperPACs, he will be disappointed with that. Just under | :50:05. | :50:15. | |
4000 Millwall fans at White Hart Lane. -- super pass. They have never | :50:16. | :50:19. | |
won on this ground, two draws is the best they have ever done, 1-1 in | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
1929 and 3-3 in March 1978, Glenn Hoddle was amongst the Spurs scorer | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
that day and Brian Hamilton for Millwall, former Everton midfielder | :50:31. | :50:36. | |
and Northern Ireland International. Trippier forward to Son. Winks. Son. | :50:37. | :50:56. | |
I like Millwall's middle two Williams is six and Thompson is | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
eight. Williams is a clever player, both are tenacious. Alderweireld and | :51:01. | :51:05. | |
that is a trip by Wanyama. On Thompson. One thing is for sure with | :51:06. | :51:13. | |
those two, they are going to get through a lot of work. They look | :51:14. | :51:16. | |
like they are more than willing to do it. Yes, it is a foul. Ben | :51:17. | :51:25. | |
Thompson did well there. Well, this free kick is in an | :51:26. | :51:28. | |
interesting position for the League 1 side. | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
Jake Cooper, all six up from the back for Millwall, number 24. -- | :51:34. | :51:51. | |
6'7", number 24. -- 6'7" not many people could look Peter Crouch in | :51:52. | :51:52. | |
the eye but he could. They will have worked on these all | :51:53. | :52:11. | |
week, Millwall. It's Williams with the delivery, Wanyama left at the | :52:12. | :52:14. | |
back poacher marking Morison and Morison's header bounced possibly | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
off Davies actually, it is a corner. Yes, it was a good delivery looking | :52:20. | :52:26. | |
for Morison, and good movement in front as well. Millwall's first | :52:27. | :52:33. | |
corner of the game. 20 minutes played. Shaun Williams to take this. | :52:34. | :52:47. | |
Williams's delivery. Michel Vorm, could take them under pressure from | :52:48. | :52:54. | |
Gregory, possibly fouled by Gregory but he claimed it. Yes, it was a | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
good take. Difficult ball, lots of bodies around it. That is | :52:59. | :53:06. | |
encouragement for Millwall, and it all started because of some | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
slightly, well, very sloppy Spurs play. Well, there was a buzz and a | :53:10. | :53:17. | |
temper when Kane was on the pitch and it's kind of lost a little bit | :53:18. | :53:19. | |
of that. Understandable. Tottenham are a team of so many star | :53:20. | :53:32. | |
players. But Harry Kane is the star involved, if you like. As a player, | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
Danny, if the star man is ruled out of your team does it affect you when | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
you are out on the pitch? Does it put a doubt in your mind or affect | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
your confidence while you are playing? I think if it happens in | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
the middle of the game you do feel a bit deflated after a while but you | :53:50. | :53:59. | |
know you have got to get on and you have a game to win and give somebody | :54:00. | :54:02. | |
else an opportunity. But the Harry Kane situation is very different | :54:03. | :54:04. | |
because they are so reliant on his goals. There isn't another striker | :54:05. | :54:06. | |
really here who is adequate to fill his boots so it is a big worry for | :54:07. | :54:12. | |
them. That is Vertonghen's header, Eriksen, Wanyama, super signing | :54:13. | :54:15. | |
Wanyama has been. Son Heung-min, Dele Alli in the middle, Eriksen to | :54:16. | :54:20. | |
his left hand side, Christian Eriksen here. Dele Alli... Was he | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
being held? Martin Atkinson says not but many say he was. Wanyama got | :54:26. | :54:31. | |
caught as well after he made the pass. He is down. Well, there is no | :54:32. | :54:38. | |
question at all that Craig has a handful of Dele Alli's shirt. I | :54:39. | :54:45. | |
don't know why he's trying to grab his shirt and get in front of him | :54:46. | :54:50. | |
there. He got lucky. It's a penalty for me. Wanyama here has a problem, | :54:51. | :55:00. | |
court after the ball had gone, lovely bit of play by Wanyama to | :55:01. | :55:06. | |
start the move. I just think Craig might have got away with one here. I | :55:07. | :55:13. | |
don't know how he's not seen it, the ref, he was in a good position. | :55:14. | :55:21. | |
Great noise peeling around White Hart Lane. | :55:22. | :55:29. | |
Here is Vertonghen. Craig backpedalling, Trippier in behind | :55:30. | :55:39. | |
and again trippy's control lets him down. That's twice now. -- | :55:40. | :55:46. | |
Trippier's control. I know he has played a good few games but in and | :55:47. | :55:50. | |
out of the team, you don't quite have your rhythm all the time but he | :55:51. | :55:54. | |
will be disappointed with that. Getting himself in some good | :55:55. | :55:58. | |
positions, though. His side have been awarded 11 penalties this | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
season, Tottenham, and they may well have had a case for making it a | :56:03. | :56:04. | |
dozen there. Cooper wants King to come, danger | :56:05. | :56:18. | |
here. Lucky that Son Heung-min couldn't control the spinning ball | :56:19. | :56:25. | |
instantly. Shaun Cummings is there. Vertonghen's head. Williams. | :56:26. | :56:30. | |
Slightly uncertain, the young Millwall goalkeeper. I thought the | :56:31. | :56:35. | |
defender should have dealt with that because he made the keeper come out | :56:36. | :56:39. | |
of the box. You don't really want your keeper coming out of the box. | :56:40. | :56:46. | |
He was playing in the National League last season, Tom King, had | :56:47. | :56:54. | |
alone spell from Millwall to Braintree, and it's a big step up. | :56:55. | :57:02. | |
Mind you, since he has come into the sides in the place of Jordan Archer | :57:03. | :57:07. | |
he has kept that solid defensive run going, conceding just one in four. | :57:08. | :57:16. | |
David Livermore alongside Neil Harris, Team Aitken the 2004 FA Cup | :57:17. | :57:24. | |
final in the millennium Stadium, or the Principality Stadium, as it is | :57:25. | :57:27. | |
now. David Livermore brought down Ryan Giggs for the penalty converted | :57:28. | :57:32. | |
by Ruud van Nistelrooy for Manchester United's second. -- | :57:33. | :57:44. | |
team-mate in the 2004 FA Cup Scott Davies. Son, Eriksen to Vertonghen. | :57:45. | :57:56. | |
Cooper. Smashed away for Gregory to chase and Eric Dier is not entirely | :57:57. | :58:00. | |
comfortable. This is Gregory, and this is Morison, and that there's a | :58:01. | :58:04. | |
couple of yards wide. That was a chance. He liked that, Neil Harris. | :58:05. | :58:11. | |
It's the first time we have seen Gregory, really. You could argue it | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
was a little nudge but he was brave. Morison doesn't set it out and get | :58:16. | :58:22. | |
enough bend on it. Encouraging, though, for Millwall. A little bit | :58:23. | :58:27. | |
of room for Winks before Williams comes out at, and now Wanyama who | :58:28. | :58:33. | |
seems to have run off that little knock, Eriksen, Alli, Wanyama. | :58:34. | :58:40. | |
Simon King men, Davies to his left waiting. That's clever. Good | :58:41. | :58:48. | |
recovery, though, by Jed Wallace. It was. He's been given that job, I | :58:49. | :58:57. | |
think, making sure that he tracks the runs. Wallace in the side ahead | :58:58. | :59:01. | |
of Frank Onyedinma today. Onyedinma is a flying winger who, I would | :59:02. | :59:09. | |
suggest, is less likely to be disciplined defensively than the | :59:10. | :59:14. | |
more experienced player. Eriksen with the ball in, of Williams's | :59:15. | :59:21. | |
head, and over the top from Jan Vertonghen on his right foot. Yes, | :59:22. | :59:26. | |
certainly not as good as with his left, but he has a go anyway, and | :59:27. | :59:32. | |
rightly so. He just got under it a little bit. Millwall have defended | :59:33. | :59:36. | |
set plays quite well. They have not been caused too many problems with | :59:37. | :59:39. | |
the Tottenham corners and free kicks in. | :59:40. | :59:51. | |
I think he will be quite content at 28 minutes to be 0-0, Neil Harris. | :59:52. | :00:00. | |
Cummings coming forward now. And a handball given against Aiden | :00:01. | :00:01. | |
O'Brien. Half-hour mark approaching. Here is | :00:02. | :00:27. | |
Davies. Clipped in. Dealt with by Cooper. That early barrage of shots | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
which Tom King had to deal with and did deal with has rather dried up. | :00:36. | :00:58. | |
Hits his shin pad in frustration. Yeah, sloppy. Really those first two | :00:59. | :01:09. | |
chances, Kane and Son from tight angles that made us think there was | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
going to be a build-up of pressure from Spurs, but it didn't come. They | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
deserve credit, Millwall, for getting themselves in the game and | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
looking reasonably comfortable. He doesn't look massively impressed at | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
the moment, Pochettino. Byron Webster with the clearance. Wanyama | :01:31. | :01:42. | |
holding off Thompson. Spurs have passed the ball crisply and | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
precisely to midfield, then they will really test Millwall. Trippier | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
in towards Eriksen. Eriksen! Great finish from Christian Eriksen. You'd | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
struggle to call it half a chance, but boy did he take it. Spurs lead, | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
Eriksen scores. Well, we were just saying, hadn't been a chance for a | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
while. Good defending. Drops to him. What a strike that is. We know how | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
good he is technically. Sometimes we think he should score more goals | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
with his talent, but that's what he's capable of. Really, really good | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
strike. Low into the ground, far corner. Good substitution. Ooh, | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
wonderful goal. Wonderful finish from Christian Eriksen. Ninth goal | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
of the season. Spurs in front. Super strike. Didn't seem to be much | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
danger at all, but he hit it so well, so accurately. | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
Now what riposte can Millwall find here with this free kick which Shaun | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Williams is going to take? O'Brien forward, Webster forward, | :03:09. | :03:32. | |
Morison now. Jake Cooper, too. Williams to deliver. Flick on... Ooh | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
it just flashed in front of Jake Cooper. It was flicked on by Aiden | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
O'Brien. Cooper wasn't far away from getting something on that. Yeah, it | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
wasn't a great ball in, but the first click on causes Spurs a | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
problem. It was Jan Vertonghen standing in front of Cooper who had | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
to be strong to hold off the centre-half. | :04:05. | :04:17. | |
The very first FA Cup goal of scored at White Hart Lane was by Johnny | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
McMahon for Preston North End in February 19 01. Could be that | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Christian Eriksen's is the last. There's the goal-scorer, Super Bowl, | :04:28. | :04:48. | |
too. Yeah, she does score some great goals, doesn't he? -- super goal. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
When you've got that much ability and you are technically that could, | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
in bigger games, contributing a bit more. Thompson with a clearing | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
header, Trippier forward, Thompson again. And again. Now Wallace. Did | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
well, Wallace. Being chased here by Wanyama, still going. He's had a | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
little look up, played a decent ball in. Alderweireld dealt with it. Did | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
really well, Jed Wallace. Williams to Thompson and back again. Clipped | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
up towards Morison, got a head on it, couldn't find Gregory. Might | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
have let that go through to Vorm but Spurs have dealt with it. Eriksen | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
into Davies, Spurs countering. Dele Alli and Son Heung-Min both forward. | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
Cooper back. Corner, Spurs. Good break from Spurs after Millwall | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
having some joy getting crosses into the box, better from Millwall. But | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
they are always going to be susceptible to that break from | :06:05. | :06:15. | |
Spurs. Imperative they get to half-time without conceding again, | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
really is. Christian Eriksen to take. Three are up from the back for | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
Spurs, in it goes deep towards Wanyama. Off the woodwork and not | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
turned away by O'Brien when it probably should have been. Here is | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
Wallace. He has done well. Up towards Gregory, ploughing a bit of | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
a lone furrow, and Trippier feeding Vorm. Might have been two. Yeah, | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
lost him for a second. Good header from Wanyama, he's dangerous in the | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
box. Spurs come again with Ben Davies. They are comfortable now. | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
Pass the ball about, try and draw Millwall out a bit. | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
Alderweireld for Spurs, Jan Vertonghen. | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
Shaun Cummings did well. Son Heung-Min was a bit weak in the | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
challenge. Gregory chasing this. Alderweireld. | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
Made that look easy, the pair of them. Some stat Garth Crooks came | :07:51. | :08:04. | |
out with about Alderweireld, as a partnership they've lost only 14 out | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
of 120 odd games they've played together, club and country. They | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
balance each other. I know Tottenham play a three now, but when they had | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
the two together, they complement each other really well. Nice balance | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
with the right foot and the left foot. Their biggest rent, they both | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
can play. Here's the header. Yeah, good. Unlucky. Big, powerful header, | :08:27. | :08:27. | |
that is. Could probably agree that of Spurs | :08:28. | :08:45. | |
summer signings, Wanyama has been the most effective. Sissoko and | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
Janssen still rather peripheral. Created a strong base in the middle | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
of the park with Dembele. And then with Winks playing his games as | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
well, looks fantastic young footballer. The centre of the pitch | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
is a strong area for Spurs. He may yet come good, Vincent Janssen, but | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
not if he doesn't get on the pitch, he won't. With Harry Kane going off | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
he certainly would have been thinking he was entitled to come on | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
but he didn't. No, must be thinking a little bit negatively at this | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
moment. Here's Ben Davies. No foul, Jed Wallace taking it away from | :09:35. | :09:35. | |
Davies. Wanyama. Steve Morison upfront for Millwall | :09:36. | :09:57. | |
in the centre circle had a spell at Norwich City a few years back in the | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Premier League. Playing as a lone striker in a struggling team, scored | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
nine goals that season in the Premier League which is no mean | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
achievement. Here he is. Here is Eriksen. | :10:11. | :10:25. | |
He was allowed to take that a very long way, Eriksen. Volleyed away by | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
Byron Webster. There he is, Morison. 15 goals so far this season. His | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
return from injury has come at a good time. Good pace, willing | :10:42. | :10:51. | |
runner. He won't have wanted to have been doing this much defending of | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
course. But playing against higher quality opposition, that's what you | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
have to do. The key thing, the difference between the three Premier | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
League scalps, apart from the difference in class between Spurs | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
and Bournemouth, Watford and Leicester, with all due respect, is | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
that Millwall were at home in those three. Webster with the clearance. | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
In fact Millwall at home in every round of the FA Cup, all five of | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
them that they've played up until now. That's come off Alderweireld to | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
Morison. O'Brien getting forward here. Williams. Four up for | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
Millwall. Towards O'Brien. Not offside. Dealt | :11:30. | :11:46. | |
with by Dier, Spurs can break. Millwall had committed a few yellow | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
shirts forward. Son Heung-Min. Dele Alli is furious with him for not | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
controlling that. Son Heung-Min, ooh, makes amends with an absolute | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
beauty! Well! Take Christian Eriksen's goal and raise you. That | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
Sabrina and goal from Son Heung-Min. -- that's a brilliant goal from Son | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Heung-Min. Well, his first touch wasn't great, but his second was | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
absolutely brilliant. Great break from Spurs. We criticised him | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
earlier for not looking across to Dele Alli, but this time he has | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
every right to have a shot. Look at that, on his supposedly weak foot. | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
Really, really difficult technique, there, on your weak foot, to bend it | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
with that pace. Keeper no chance. Still a great finish. Well, that's | :12:47. | :12:58. | |
12 goals now, for a guy who doesn't play every week, that's a good | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
return. Yeah. Welcome he gets on with it. Fit. He can play on the | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
left, play on the right, played down the middle he gives it his all. | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
Wouldn't say he's a natural in front of goal, far from it. But he's a | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
good player and he's just proven it there with the technique. Gregory | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
getting away from Dier. Alderweireld is covering. | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
Just what Neil Harris and Millwall did not need, but you cannot argue | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
with the quality of the finishing. Wallace. Eriksen in to Dele Alli, | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
they've got to be careful, Millwall don't want to get caught on the | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
break again. Dele Alli crowded out of it. Ben Davies was in all kinds | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
of space to his left-hand side. Meantime, that's Wanyama in a heap | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
on the floor, again. Hmm. Don't know if he's been whacked on the same one | :14:08. | :14:19. | |
he got whacked one before. Yeah. Don't think it's too bad. Yellow is | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
maybe about right. Followed through a little bit. So, yellow card for | :14:24. | :14:36. | |
the man who is on loan from Wolves to Millwall. They've not actually | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
kept the ball well enough, Millwall. Sometimes you've just got to hold | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
your hands up, haven't you? I mean, that is such a good goal. He has got | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
a fantastic left foot actually, considering he is right footed. Been | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
practising the handshake that Harry Kane has been doing. That would take | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
me a few weeks to get that. I wouldn't try, of course. That's two | :15:09. | :15:09. | |
days of training, that. Wanyama is currently off the pitch | :15:10. | :15:25. | |
getting treatment. But he's a strong boy. Millwall throw. | :15:26. | :15:49. | |
Helped on by Thompson but Winks takes up such good positions, Harry | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
Winks, he always seems to have pockets of space around him. Wanyama | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
is back on for Spurs. Davies. Dele Alli. | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
Eriksen back to Harry Winks. Dele Alli thinking about it. We have seen | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
two pretty spectacular finishes, that wasn't a third. No, not one of | :16:12. | :16:24. | |
his better efforts. I love the fact he has the confidence to try it, | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
though. There are a few medals there, Ray Clemence, Clive Alan, | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
Mark Fallon, Ossie Ardiles sitting behind, Paul Allen. I saw Ray | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
Clemence on Friday, actually, at a dinner, he was in good form. Worked | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
with him in the England squad, good guy, gentlemen, for work Liverpool | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
goalkeeper. It was a move which was a stunning move at the time from | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
Liverpool to Tottenham for Ray Clemence. | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
A real gentleman, good to see him here, Ray Clemence, looking well. | :17:11. | :17:42. | |
Alderweireld for Spurs. That will be a Spurs hoping and looking now as if | :17:43. | :17:52. | |
they will be heading to their 20th FA Cup semifinal in their history. | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
It's a tournament which Spurs are sort of associated with. They have | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
an won it since 1991. That's a long time. It is and I was talking to a | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
couple of supporters earlier about the fact that although they are | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
progressing and things are going really well here, lots of positives, | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
silverware is what it's all about, you know? This is a great | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
opportunity for them, two games away. From lifting a trophy, if they | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
can see this one out. Here is Jan Vertonghen. Eriksen Trippier. King | :18:32. | :18:46. | |
has dealt with that. Martin Atkinson's whistle goes and Millwall | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
are two down at White Hart Lane against Tottenham Hotspur. Christian | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
Eriksen on in place of the injured Harry Kane very early in the game | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
with a super finish topped by Son Heung-min's which flew in off his | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
left foot. Two great goals and Spurs halfway to the last four. Half-time | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
at White Hart Lane. And Hotspur 2-0 Millwall. | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
Tottenham certainly emphasising their high class in this game so | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
far, Millwall resolute for a while but in the end two terrific goals. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
Total dominance from Tottenham, as you said they dominated possession, | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
they have been in so many good positions, stretching the wingbacks, | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
Trippier and Davies, high up and stretching the back four and | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
Millwall can't cope with it. They have been in great positions but | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
other than the two pieces of magic for the goals they have been so | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
wistful when they got into those areas, should be four or five with | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
better balls and finishing. We saw Millwall were very organised that | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
you felt it was just a matter of time. Yes, Tottenham got so much | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
possession, Millwall were having a 4-4- to effect but with Davies | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
pushing so far on he is bringing Jed Wallace back into a second right | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
back position really, so when Millwall get the ball they can't get | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
out because he's too far behind because there is nobody to pass two, | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
doing an honest job but Tottenham are wearing them down with their | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
superior ball keeping skills. Two leagues above and it shows. This is | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
the point as a manager were you think maybe I should have played | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
three in midfield because the gulf in class, Millwall are finding it | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
impossible not only to get out of their own half but sustain any | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
possession. Marcus Ericsson got the first goal out of nothing, wasn't | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
it? The two defenders both went for the same ball which enabled Eriksen | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
to have the space at the edge of the box when the ball falls, they are | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
both there and no one picks up Eriksen and before they know it it | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
is in the back of the net, wonderful finish. He has such a and awareness | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
of the space around him and he knows he must hit it first time but he | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
doesn't panic, he knows he can get good contact and to swivel and kick | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
it like that is a hard skill. He had to wait for it to come down but he | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
knows the two lads have challenged for the same ball so they are | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
unaware of where he is and as the ball comes off Dele Alli's chesty | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
waits for it to drop at the precise moment and hit it into the ground | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
and zip it off the surface. Which goal would win the goal of the half | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
competition? I like the technical element of Eriksen's. I would agree. | :21:28. | :21:36. | |
This one from Son was sensational. I was screaming at his touch at this | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
point but he answered perfectly with that unbelievable strike. I watched | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
him a lot at Bayer Leverkusen do this on his left foot, cutting | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
inside. Dele Alli unhappy, he's on a good goal-scoring run. But he | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
answered him. How many times have you done that in your career when | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
somebody has had a shot from too far out and you go, well done, good | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
goal. The keeper has absolutely no chance. It does help if it goes on, | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
if you hit the ball with your right or left foot, it makes the defender | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
think, you could only kick it with your right foot, you would never | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
bend it in with your left. We couldn't do that either! Running | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
away with one arm in the air, come on, guys! Whatever happened to | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
keeping it simple in the celebration? Do what ever you want, | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
it is fine. That was the good news for Tottenham, the bad news, of | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
course, is the injury to Harry Kane. It looks like he sustained a similar | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
sort of injury as the one at the start of the season that kept him | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
out for seven weeks. Such an awkward fall. We were debating whether he | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
should have passed it. The defender goes on top and straightaway it is a | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
very nasty thing to see. It was as he planted it, that's the problem | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
and he takes the full weight of his defender onto his ankle. The fact he | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
is walking, but limping but not on a stretcher. The fact he was out for | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
seven weeks at the start of the season with the same injury shows it | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
has not mended properly and that will be another couple of months. We | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
think Tottenham should have had a penalty? They should have had one. I | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
don't know how the referee doesn't see this, he was clearly having his | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
shirt pulled there. The ref isn't far away at all. He actually pulls | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
him down, doesn't he? He pulls him all the way, when he has hold of him | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
he doesn't let go for a while and it is very blatant and I don't know how | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
the ref has not seen it and the linesman has not seen it. Possibly | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
an underdog decision. He might have thought I have given you one here. | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
But it was a penalty. Only one opportunity, and not a great one, in | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
the first half, Morison on the counterattack. We said they would do | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
this, rigid two banks of four but when they get out they are trying | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
with the two Centre forwards, hopeful ball, Gregory does well | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
nudging him at the right time and gets his body in and they get a | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
little bit of luck. Might need Alan Shearer to put his foot through it | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
there rather than putting it in the top corner. It sat perfect for him, | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
didn't it? You can see the angle it was a couple of yards wide, but it | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
was worth an effort. That's the only time they've had any sort of sniff, | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
the long ball up, and the two forwards getting close together we | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
said they would do that but other than that they have hardly had the | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
ball. Bringing it back to the Harry Kane injury and what I could mean | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
for Spurs for the rest of the season if he is out for some time, it's | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
quite an unusual situation where they have Vincent Janssen on the | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
bench who is a striker and he hasn't even brought him on to make do. It | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
shows how weak they are in that position apart from Harry Kane. We | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
all felt for Vincent Janssen as Harry Kane was going off, you are | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
the centre forward on the bench thinking you are coming on and he | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
has put Son on. Son gives them something and stretches than the | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
other way, he goes in behind and stretches defences. I think that is | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
probably what he looked at, Vincent Janssen is more about holding the | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
ball up and they didn't need that today, they already have good | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
possession so he's gone for the legs and getting in behind to stretch | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
them. Whistle the stats with Harry Kane before the game about how many | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
goals he brings to the top and side, so to lose him for any period of | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
time would be a disaster for them. Especially at this stage of the | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
season. The Loston Footie months at the start of the season and look | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
like they could lose him for a couple of months at the end of the | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
season. It was a poor purchase not having a strong replacement and | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
could cost Spurs, I don't know how, whether it is a top position or a | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
trophy, you don't know how but that's the decision that could come | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
back to haunt them. It is worrying. We Haatheq rocking quarterfinal | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
tomorrow night on BBC One with Chelsea against Manchester United | :25:48. | :25:49. | |
live from Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have won the cup six times in the | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
last 20 years but their first success came in 1970 when they beat | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
Leeds in a replay. It was one of the most physical FA Cup games ever | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
played and that's putting it mildly and wrong Chopper Harris loved it. I | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
think it was a dream that anybody, any footballer wanted to do. It was | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
one of the proudest moments in all my years at Chelsea Football Club. | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
I'm proud of the fact I was the first Chelsea captain to ever lift | :26:23. | :26:32. | |
the FA Cup. COMMENTATOR: This year, a Cockney cup final, Chelsea versus | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
Tottenham Hotspur, two London teams. My memory on the Saturday was | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
fantastic, driving up Wembley Way which was thousands and thousands of | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
people, a fantastic day, leading the side out at Wembley was an ambition | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
of mine and at the time I was the youngest player ever to captain the | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
side in a cup final, 19. Robertson! Goal right on half-time! Robertson! | :26:58. | :27:11. | |
What's a good goal! We got beat 2-1. I think we froze on | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
the day, they played ever so well, we were a little disappointed | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
because we never really performed at all. A few years later we had a cup | :27:21. | :27:30. | |
run again and played Leeds in the final at Wembley. They were a | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
tremendous side, Leeds, very physical, and they had Jonny Giles | :27:38. | :27:45. | |
and Eddie Gray but we had players who could match them for enthusiasm, | :27:46. | :27:47. | |
Peter Osgood. It's a goal. ! Goal! Jones has done it. Goal! | :27:48. | :28:13. | |
I think we were a little bit fortunate, we got out of jail, and | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
about three weeks later we played in the replay at Old Trafford. We made | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
a tactical switch because I played right back at the time, to pick up | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
Eddie Gray, by orders was to follow him around and ruffle him up and I | :28:30. | :28:37. | |
think I did that. People used to say that all I used to do was kick | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
people but I played 795 games for Chelsea and captained them for many | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
years and I'd like to think I was a bit better than just going around | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
kicking people. You had two good sides that were fully committed and | :28:51. | :28:55. | |
people would say it was a very physical game. | :28:56. | :29:12. | |
My dad used to always say to me you get nothing for being second best. | :29:13. | :29:20. | |
All of the years I played football was an achievement I always wanted | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
to do when I was a young lad. 47 years later Chelsea are two games | :29:26. | :29:39. | |
away from the cup final against a live from Stamford Bridge from | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
7:30pm tomorrow evening from the -- for the semifinals follows that. | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
Before that Match of the Day 2 tonight will have highlights of | :29:49. | :29:51. | |
Liverpool versus Burnley in the Premier League. Rugby special is | :29:52. | :29:54. | |
back this evening with all of the highlights from the Six Nations | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
matches this weekend. 600 horsepower, ?200,000 car, what | :30:02. | :30:04. | |
could possibly go wrong? This is a rally stage will stop that is | :30:05. | :30:14. | |
immature. It sounds like I just kicked your as. Top Gear, the new | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
series continues tonight on BBC Two. Will afford to that but we will look | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
back at a couple of the tackles in the Chelsea- Leeds cup final. It was | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
extraordinary, they got a referee at one point to look at the game and | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
said there would have been 21 bookings and three sendings off. Did | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
he say it was called roughing him up? He probably didn't even get | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
booked for that. Casual stud in your cheek. Get in there, again, Peter | :30:43. | :30:51. | |
Osgood. That is when men were men. That was Man United against | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
Bournemouth, wasn't it? LAUGHTER | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
Things have changed a bit, they certainly have. Back to pitch side | :30:58. | :30:59. | |
to see what Michael Dawson and Paul Robinson made of the first half. | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
These two were wincing at a couple of those. Michael, the happier of | :31:05. | :31:11. | |
the former captains. Spurs came in as favourites. How impressed have | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
you been by their professionalism and their approach? Very impressed, | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
the way they have dominated the game. Being professional, that's | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
what it's about when you are playing teams from the lower leagues. | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
They've been in some good positions, should be maybe more than two up. | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
They'll be delighted the way it is going. The only downside, losing | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
Harry Kane to injury which could be a big loss. It could indeed. Paul, | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
it was always going to be tough for Millwall, how do you feel they have | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
done in this game? Defensively looked strong up until the first | :31:44. | :31:48. | |
goal of the first real mix-up in defence. They knew they would spend | :31:49. | :31:51. | |
long periods without the ball, they knew they would have to work | :31:52. | :31:56. | |
defensively. For a good 25 minutes they did that. Two bid strikes from | :31:57. | :32:01. | |
Tottenham. Especially the second one. 2-0 up at half-time looks a | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
commanding position but they had nothing to lose beforehand and even | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
more so now, I'm sure they'll have a good go in the second half. What | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
will Neil Harris do in the second half? Players like Onyedinma on the | :32:14. | :32:20. | |
bench, very good upfront, perhaps not so good defensively, will they | :32:21. | :32:23. | |
go for it and perhaps risk a real drubbing? They've got nothing to | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
lose on the day, it might as well be 4-0. Defensively they'll still have | :32:29. | :32:32. | |
to work really hard, keep defending their box well like they have done. | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
The keeper will need to make some good saves. I'm sure he will let the | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
shackles of a tiny bit more, take more attacking risks. I'm sure you | :32:40. | :32:45. | |
will see the pace and power of Fred, soon, and maybe Ferguson. What about | :32:46. | :32:52. | |
the Spurs players? 2-0 up, looking comfortable, is it difficult to | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
mentally come out and prepare for a second half when you know you cannot | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
let anything slip? With Wembley and a semifinal at the end of this? | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
Pochettino will be drilling them to come out and start right, the way | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
they did in the first half, and keep going, to build on 2-0, get the | :33:09. | :33:12. | |
third goal and the game will be finished. The two centre halves for | :33:13. | :33:18. | |
Spurs have got to be strong, Dier, Alderweireld and Vertonghen. Spurs | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
will want to go on and get the third and fourth, game over. I just got | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
hit by the match ball, everybody wants to touch the match ball, don't | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
they? Hope you can enjoy the second half. | :33:32. | :33:36. | |
Will it be Tottenham, will it be Millwall? Think he's hurt himself. A | :33:37. | :33:44. | |
sad sight for Tottenham fans. Dele Alli, was he being held? Martin | :33:45. | :33:51. | |
Atkinson says not. Eriksen! Great finish from Christian Eriksen. Son | :33:52. | :33:54. | |
Heung-Min! That's a brilliant goal from Son Heung-Min! STUDIO: Yes, two | :33:55. | :34:01. | |
wonderful goals have given Tottenham a comfortable half-time lead. It | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
would take something rather spectacular for Millwall to come | :34:07. | :34:10. | |
back from this, Alan? What Millwall have got to do, they've got to | :34:11. | :34:14. | |
gamble now. Got to try to get a bit closer to the 2-macro/ because it | :34:15. | :34:19. | |
was really nonexistence in the first half. | :34:20. | :34:26. | |
To do that you have got to have the ball and they have not had much of | :34:27. | :34:31. | |
it. Next ten minutes have got to be important. Millwall need to have a | :34:32. | :34:36. | |
little gamble, get people forward, women their knock-downs in the half | :34:37. | :34:43. | |
-- and win their knock-downs. Got to get the ball first, then try and do | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
something with it. They could just not come out... Seems like an option | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
as it stands. They were two exceptional strikes, really. There | :34:56. | :35:01. | |
will be 11 thinking, let's not get embarrassed today, let's put in a | :35:02. | :35:04. | |
similar defensive display and we can walk out, if we get beaten, with | :35:05. | :35:08. | |
some pride and they have definitely shown they are capable of that. The | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
Millwall players are now venturing out on to midfield. We can rejoin | :35:13. | :35:17. | |
the commentators, Danny Murphy and Steve Wilson. COMMENTATOR: Millwall | :35:18. | :35:24. | |
have made a change, Ben Thompson has come off, and this is Calum Butcher | :35:25. | :35:31. | |
in midfield, former Spurs trainee, was on the bench for a Uefa cup game | :35:32. | :35:37. | |
in 2009. That was as close as he ever came to pulling on the lily | :35:38. | :35:46. | |
white jersey. Get the chance to play against them here in the second half | :35:47. | :35:51. | |
of this cup quarterfinal with Spurs leading by two excellent goals. | :35:52. | :35:58. | |
Eriksen and Son. But Spurs without Harry Kane, injured early on. It's a | :35:59. | :36:03. | |
big ask for Millwall, the League 1 side, to get back into this cup tie. | :36:04. | :36:09. | |
But one goal can change a lot. Eric Dier. Cushioned by Davies, to Dele | :36:10. | :36:22. | |
Alli. Harry Winks, here. Williams getting in smartly for Millwall. | :36:23. | :36:31. | |
Unable to find Morison. Gregory certainly put in a shift for | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
Millwall, hasn't he? But no real reward as yet, anyway. Worked | :36:35. | :36:45. | |
tremendously hard. Here is Eric Dier, forward to Dele Alli, on the | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
turn, can he find a way to get the shopping? He can't, but Tom King | :36:51. | :36:51. | |
ends up with the ball in his hands. My microphone is playing up a bit, | :36:52. | :37:05. | |
sorry about that. Great run from Dele Alli, wasn't it? So good at | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
that. And they are so good at finding him. Yeah, they are. | :37:11. | :37:21. | |
Here's Davies for Spurs. That's a good run by Ben Davies, he's going | :37:22. | :37:30. | |
all the way! Well, a scuffed shot in the end. Those yellow shirts | :37:31. | :37:35. | |
retreating just about did enough to bring this run to an end, but what a | :37:36. | :37:41. | |
super run it was. He just kept going, didn't he? Unfortunately | :37:42. | :37:43. | |
found itself on his right foot which is not his strongest. Can't get a | :37:44. | :37:49. | |
decent connection on it. It suits him playing more as a wingback, | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
doesn't it? Can get forward and use his skills higher up the pitch. | :37:56. | :38:04. | |
Here's Gregory. Vertonghen once Vorm to come, and he did. We saw his only | :38:05. | :38:12. | |
goal so far the Spurs, Ben Davies. That was second against Aston Villa | :38:13. | :38:19. | |
in round three. Cute little header. Well, he's been unfortunate. Because | :38:20. | :38:25. | |
the form of Danny Rose over the last year, 18 months, has been | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
exceptional, hasn't it? I'm kind of surprised he's signed a contract to | :38:30. | :38:30. | |
be honest with you. Here's Williams. Trippier to the right, Eriksen, good | :38:31. | :38:47. | |
hit, good save by King. Dele Alli is onto it, Eriksen wants it back. Here | :38:48. | :38:56. | |
is Wanyama. Header didn't really do the job but Wanyama couldn't find a | :38:57. | :38:58. | |
way to get a shot away. Ghosts in and out of games | :38:59. | :39:14. | |
sometimes, Christian Eriksen. At when on song he is such a good | :39:15. | :39:22. | |
player. Also a good striker of the ball, isn't he? Technique's really | :39:23. | :39:28. | |
good. He gets such pace on those shots. Nice, positive run. Looking | :39:29. | :39:39. | |
at his options. Son, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen just got | :39:40. | :39:42. | |
underneath that one with O'Brien making it difficult for him, closing | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
him down. Actually saw, I think it was last week, a stacked with | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
Eriksen saying he's covered more distanced than anybody in the | :39:53. | :39:54. | |
Premier League and I thought that was quite interesting. Because you | :39:55. | :39:59. | |
look at him and think, creative, skilful, somebody who can win a | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
game. You wouldn't put him in probably with the guys who do the | :40:04. | :40:07. | |
most running but it just shows you, he certainly does put a shift in for | :40:08. | :40:11. | |
his team as well. That's long from Byron Webster. Hoping to find | :40:12. | :40:16. | |
Wallace, who has kept the ball in play and found Gregory. And Gregory | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
has support. Williams wastes the chance. Well worked. Yeah, it's a | :40:22. | :40:31. | |
good cross. Brings it down really nicely. Fires it back a bit too | :40:32. | :40:38. | |
hard. Hard to run onto a ball coming at you that quickly and keep it | :40:39. | :40:39. | |
down. Here is Wanyama. Do you prefer Eric Dier in a three | :40:40. | :40:59. | |
or as a defensive midfielder, Danny? He's better as a defensive | :41:00. | :41:04. | |
midfielder. He was absolutely sensational last season. But I think | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
if Spurs are going to play that way, it's OK to have him there because | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
he's got such good cover around him. Either or, really. But I think his | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
best form was when he played in a deep midfield role last year. But | :41:20. | :41:25. | |
now Wanyama has come, he's obviously got good competition in there. So | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
he's found himself at the back. Here is Wanyama. Christian Eriksen. Jan | :41:29. | :41:32. | |
Vertonghen. Winks, using his body well. Dele | :41:33. | :41:44. | |
Alli, lovely little flick, didn't quite come off, Shaun Cummings is | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
there. Snapped away rather hurriedly by Jake Cooper, don't think he | :41:49. | :41:52. | |
wanted the past much. Winks to Trippier. Taking on Craig. Behind by | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
Cooper, Tottenham corner. It's been a great cup run for | :41:57. | :42:14. | |
Millwall. Ooh, sensational. They've done themselves proud. Deserve this | :42:15. | :42:21. | |
tie. When you consider at one point they were 1-0 down to Braintree, it | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
has gone extremely well. But very tough to come back from here, you | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
would say, against the Spurs side playing with such confidence, | :42:32. | :42:34. | |
unbeaten at White Hart Lane since last May. Their only defeat in home | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
games, in inverted commas, are the games they played at Wembley in | :42:41. | :42:48. | |
Europe. Semifinal will be under the arch at Wembley, where they have won | :42:49. | :42:51. | |
one of their last nine games and that was the dead rubber in the | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
Champions League this year against CSKA. Somewhat of a worry, that, I | :42:56. | :43:01. | |
would suggest. Especially as they will be playing all their games then | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
next season in all likelihood. I gather the contract with the | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
National Stadium is as yet unsigned. Maybe they are having second | :43:11. | :43:12. | |
thoughts because of the form there, who knows? Certainly need to get | :43:13. | :43:21. | |
used to the place. Beaten in the air by Alderweireld. Spurs have also | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
lost their last six FA Cup semifinals. Here is Cummings. Is | :43:27. | :43:37. | |
there any good stats? For the poor Spurs fans who aren't here today, | :43:38. | :43:43. | |
listening. They are going to be a bit worried now. All things, good | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
and bad, must come to an end, I suppose. Here is Trippier. Son, good | :43:48. | :44:05. | |
run, well found, 3-0! Well, his cup runneth over. Millwall add cup run | :44:06. | :44:12. | |
is over. Son Heung-Min with another delightful goal. Brilliant ball from | :44:13. | :44:17. | |
Trippier. Well, the quality of their goals today has been exceptional. | :44:18. | :44:21. | |
Brilliant pass again. We've seen this from various players. Look at | :44:22. | :44:27. | |
the movement. I mean, to pick him out there, take it on the Wally. -- | :44:28. | :44:37. | |
on the volley. That's what Trippier gives you from those full-back | :44:38. | :44:42. | |
areas. Son's finishing is on point today. That's a really difficult | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
thing to do, volley it as it is coming out of the air. Three | :44:47. | :44:54. | |
high-quality goals from Tottenham Hotspur today. Hmm. I think probably | :44:55. | :45:11. | |
that one being the best, for me. Here goes Vertonghen. Davies. | :45:12. | :45:19. | |
Cummings in the way for Millwall. O'Brien. | :45:20. | :45:31. | |
Yes, his movement is really good, Son, when he plays high up there he | :45:32. | :45:43. | |
doesn't half keep the defenders on their toes. Down the left, down the | :45:44. | :45:48. | |
right, getting in behind, his comfortable down both flanks. Michel | :45:49. | :45:59. | |
Vorm to Trippier. Great noise at White Hart Lane. Wanyama. Cut out by | :46:00. | :46:12. | |
Cummings stretching also lofted high in hope, Wanyama arrogantly controls | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
it on his laces. Winks over the top looking for that man, Son. Webster's | :46:18. | :46:24. | |
header goes straight to the South Korean. Eriksen in the box, | :46:25. | :46:29. | |
overlapping is Davies, tipped out by King, Dele Alli, Eriksen, was Dele | :46:30. | :46:34. | |
Alli felled? Martin Atkinson again says no. Craig clears his lines, | :46:35. | :46:39. | |
Millwall in danger of being swamped. They are. Spurs are playing with | :46:40. | :46:45. | |
such confidence now, everyone wanting the ball. O'Brien wants that | :46:46. | :46:51. | |
to go out of play and it hasn't. Davies kept it in. | :46:52. | :46:54. | |
Eriksen Wanyama to Winks. Spurs in full flow just now. | :46:55. | :47:10. | |
Trippier nutmegging Drake, foul by the Millwall captain and the card is | :47:11. | :47:17. | |
coming out for Tony Craig. -- nutmegging Craig. Rightly so. The | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
fact it is 3-0 doesn't really matter, that is a penalty. Could | :47:22. | :47:29. | |
easily be a penalty. Millwall are going to make a change. The young | :47:30. | :47:38. | |
winger is going to come on, Onyedinma, but maybe not before this | :47:39. | :47:39. | |
free kick. Winks pulling it square. Dele Alli | :47:40. | :47:57. | |
dragged across it. Yes, a bit different, though a nice and | :47:58. | :48:06. | |
inventive from Winks and Dele Alli. Got the touch perfect, just cut | :48:07. | :48:12. | |
across it. Here is Onyedinma coming on. Steve Morison, who has run, and | :48:13. | :48:21. | |
run hard, makes way. 20 years old, from Plumstead, comes on. Six goals | :48:22. | :48:26. | |
this season, he is a wide player, normally plays on the right, can | :48:27. | :48:28. | |
play up front. It is towards Onyedinma. He has kept | :48:29. | :48:49. | |
the ball in play. Cummings is in support for Onyedinma. It is | :48:50. | :49:01. | |
deflected, and Onyedinma takes it up and over the crossbar, Wallace. That | :49:02. | :49:09. | |
is a chance. Their best. Onyedinma does brilliantly there. He's just | :49:10. | :49:13. | |
come on the pitch, he's positive, he made a great run, well found, and | :49:14. | :49:17. | |
then confident enough to get the ball and go past people. Wallace | :49:18. | :49:21. | |
will be disappointed. Yeah. Here is Harry Winks for Tottenham. | :49:22. | :49:55. | |
Trippier. Son in behind again. Blocked by Jake Cooper. | :49:56. | :50:12. | |
There is more goals in this and he's hoping he might get one of them. | :50:13. | :50:22. | |
Spurs have not yet assessed that injury to Harry Kane's right ankle. | :50:23. | :50:55. | |
The prognosis will become clearer tomorrow. The most positive thing is | :50:56. | :51:01. | |
he was walking by himself. But it could still be quite a while out the | :51:02. | :51:10. | |
way he went over on it. Davies trained to play it square, cut out | :51:11. | :51:15. | |
by Williams, almost managed to squeeze it through to Wallace, | :51:16. | :51:16. | |
Vertonghen cut it out. Trippier back to Son Heung-min. It | :51:17. | :51:44. | |
will be a goal kick. If Kane is out for a few weeks then Son, Eriksen | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
and Alli, all goal-scorers, will be the men Pochettino turns to. They | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
will have to step up, that's for sure. They are more than capable, | :51:53. | :51:59. | |
they have ability, they have not got the consistency Kane has in scoring. | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
Gregory Pauling Eric Dier's shirt but Spurs carry on by Martin | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
Atkinson playing advantage. Ben Davies trying to find Eric Dier who | :52:08. | :52:09. | |
continued that run forward. I mean, he must be maybe thinking | :52:10. | :52:24. | |
Vincent Janssen in a game like this to get him a couple of chances. His | :52:25. | :52:29. | |
former club Southampton are the next opponents after this game for | :52:30. | :52:32. | |
Tottenham Hotspur, they come to White Hart Lane. It is Burnley, | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
Swansea and Watford next in line for Tottenham in the Premier League. | :52:40. | :52:46. | |
They will continue to try to close the gap on Chelsea but it's looking | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
a tall order at the moment in the Premier League. They are as always | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
keeping one eye on Arsenal, hoping to finish above their neighbours for | :52:57. | :53:02. | |
the first time since 1995. The FA Cup sixth round, the final place in | :53:03. | :53:09. | |
the last four up for grabs tomorrow, 7:30pm, BBC One. Here is some human, | :53:10. | :53:16. | |
off target this time, certainly after a hat-trick. -- Son Heung-min. | :53:17. | :53:21. | |
Chelsea against Manchester United tomorrow at 7:30pm and the semifinal | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
draw will follow that. Manchester City definitely there, Arsenal | :53:28. | :53:31. | |
definitely there, Spurs almost definitely there. And then either | :53:32. | :53:35. | |
Chelsea or Manchester United, it may well be, Danny Murphy, that the | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
2016-17 FA Cup is remembered as a year of shocks but no shot in the | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
last four unless Millwall termers around and that doesn't look like | :53:45. | :53:49. | |
happening. It doesn't but what it does do is give us some semifinals | :53:50. | :53:52. | |
to look forward to. Any combination of those teams is mouthwatering at | :53:53. | :54:00. | |
Wembley -- Millwall turn this around. You could not split them in | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
terms of odds, could you? If Chelsea were to beat Manchester United you | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
think the way they are playing they would edge it but you could debate | :54:09. | :54:13. | |
it, you are right, it could go either way. Here is Davies. Wanyama | :54:14. | :54:20. | |
might hit it. Did. And it hit Cooper, that will be a corner. | :54:21. | :54:40. | |
Cummings got himself in the way of Dele Alli who I think was attempting | :54:41. | :54:56. | |
to swing a volley in the direction of the Millwall goal. Millwall very | :54:57. | :55:03. | |
much in the hunt for play-offs at the end of this season in League 1, | :55:04. | :55:10. | |
maybe more the form they have been in in league football. Eriksen. That | :55:11. | :55:16. | |
was a good block by Craig, Neil Harris the League 1 manager for the | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
month of February, and received that award this week. | :55:21. | :55:26. | |
He will know they've had a fantastic run in the cup. They were never | :55:27. | :55:35. | |
going to win it. The priority for them, especially after last year's | :55:36. | :55:48. | |
disappointment. Trippier and Son. Cooper watched the ball and watched | :55:49. | :55:57. | |
it well. It was another good run from Son, so willing to get in those | :55:58. | :56:00. | |
channels. We talked in the studio earlier about why he plays him | :56:01. | :56:08. | |
instead of Vincent Janssen, the mobility he has got. Davies... | :56:09. | :56:15. | |
Volleyed clearance. Christian Eriksen. | :56:16. | :56:26. | |
Eric Dier now. Heavy touch. They are just enjoying it, aren't they? | :56:27. | :56:45. | |
Passing the ball around. The centre halves getting forward now, enjoying | :56:46. | :56:51. | |
their football. They don't get many games like that in a season where | :56:52. | :57:00. | |
they are comfortable at 66 minutes. The fear for Spurs is that the cream | :57:01. | :57:12. | |
of the crop in their playing staff, and coaching staff, are being | :57:13. | :57:16. | |
coveted by others. Onyedinma. Wallace. Alderweireld | :57:17. | :57:24. | |
covering. The interview from Alderweireld was interesting before | :57:25. | :57:27. | |
the game. He was very noncommittal about his future and contract and | :57:28. | :57:32. | |
stuff, which surprised me. It wouldn't surprise me that some of | :57:33. | :57:35. | |
the best teams in the world are trying to sign him. Tottenham over | :57:36. | :57:42. | |
the years have been a selling club and they've got to change that now. | :57:43. | :57:45. | |
Here is Eriksen. Alli. Wanyama. Trippier. Almost midway | :57:46. | :58:00. | |
through the second half of the game. Three really, really special | :58:01. | :58:01. | |
Tottenham goals. I think in a way that will please | :58:02. | :58:13. | |
Neil Harris. They haven't conceded anything sloppy, they haven't | :58:14. | :58:17. | |
conceded anything silly. They've just been really, really top-class | :58:18. | :58:23. | |
goals. Yeah, and I think that does give you some comfort but it shows | :58:24. | :58:27. | |
that when the better teams in the Premier League to play their more or | :58:28. | :58:32. | |
less best 11, although there are a couple missing today, Dembele and | :58:33. | :58:38. | |
Eriksen coming off the bench. But very hard over a period of 90 | :58:39. | :58:42. | |
minutes to defend against such quality in the Premier League now | :58:43. | :58:51. | |
which the Premier League teams possess. They had their scares when | :58:52. | :58:55. | |
Wycombe came here, Spurs. They got away with that one. They have had a | :58:56. | :59:02. | |
bit of luck, that's for sure, that game, and the fact they've been | :59:03. | :59:07. | |
drawn at home. They have not played a Premier League team yet. I was | :59:08. | :59:11. | |
just going to say, and not a Premier League team. That's what the cup is | :59:12. | :59:15. | |
sometimes. Sometimes it goes for you, sometimes it doesn't. Eriksen. | :59:16. | :59:23. | |
Trippier. There is the cross in, Dele Alli's touch, cannoned off | :59:24. | :59:30. | |
Davies, I think. Goalkick. It was Davies who got the last touch | :59:31. | :59:33. | |
despite Dele Alli's attempts to put the ball in the corner quadrant. | :59:34. | :59:39. | |
And we are about to see Shane Ferguson come on. Jed Wallace is | :59:40. | :59:52. | |
making way. Shane Ferguson, the former Newcastle man, Northern | :59:53. | :59:58. | |
Ireland international, played in Euro 2016 for Northern Ireland in | :59:59. | :00:15. | |
the group match against Poland. Good experienced player to bring on, | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Ferguson. Well, Millwall, now, supporters | :00:18. | :00:32. | |
anyway, our thinking, can we get the consolation of a goal to cheer at | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
White Hart Lane? Yeah. This came close. Probably their best chance | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
after that move involving substitute Onyedinma. Williams is going to take | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
this. Cushioned it in, Williams. Cooper got ahead on it. Vertonghen | :00:58. | :01:11. | |
has gone down holding his face. The ball in was not quite brave enough, | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
looped in rather than trying to put pace on it. Easy to defend. Caught a | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
little forearm in the face. Never used to get centre halves that | :01:22. | :01:36. | |
good looking back in the day, did you? | :01:37. | :01:50. | |
Had a terrific side, Millwall, in the Sheringham days. Tony Cascarino, | :01:51. | :02:02. | |
Jimmy Carter in midfield. Yeah. Here is Trippier, Eriksen, tap in, 4-0, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Dele Alli. Well, perhaps not as spectacular in | :02:07. | :02:22. | |
its conversion, but very, very nice in its creation. Dele Alli scores. | :02:23. | :02:33. | |
Look at this for a pass. Great spot from Eriksen. He knows that Dele | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
Alli continually runs late into the box, he has done all afternoon and | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
he was always going to get one. He gets himself in there. Great desire | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
to want to score goals. Eriksen playing with that vision and | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
confidence is a real danger. It has been a dominant display. Really, | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
really good from Tottenham. Dele Alli's 16th goal of this season. | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
That's a terrific return. Here he is. Janssen is stripped and ready | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
for action. Here is Trippier. Ooh, that touch from Shaun Cummings just | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
took it away from Wanyama. Having taken his season 's tally to 16, | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Dele Alli, I think, is going to be replaced by Vincent Janssen. They | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
may take this corner first, they do. Here is Winks. Blocked by Ferguson. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Onyedinma here. Good turn from Son Heung-Min. Too | :03:45. | :03:58. | |
quick for Webster. Stretching Cooper. | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
Free kick, Millwall. And a chance for Spurs to make the substitution. | :04:08. | :04:20. | |
Standing ovation, richly deserved, yet again. Good decision, there. | :04:21. | :04:36. | |
Nice little tap in for him. Give him a little breather. Plays lots of | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
games, Dele Alli, put in a hell of a shift every time he does venture | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
onto the pitch. 20 minutes breather for him. Give Jansen may be the | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
opportunity to score in open play. 27 goals last season for Alkmaar in | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
Holland. Four so far for Spurs in England, all of them penalties. Here | :05:02. | :05:12. | |
is Wanyama. Son. Janssen trying to play it back into the path of Son | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Heung-Min, who is not done yet. Wanyama. | :05:16. | :05:32. | |
Onyedinma trying to force Son Heung-Min away from the danger area | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
and he has won a throw in the end, he has done well. Son looks | :05:40. | :05:52. | |
horrified with Martin Atkinson's decision. All he will be thinking | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
about now, can I get the match ball? You don't get many opportunities to | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
score a hat-trick. Seen three hat-tricks, Spurs fans, already, | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
this calendar year. All of them from Harry Kane. Christian Eriksen, | :06:13. | :06:24. | |
Trippier. Wanyama... On target. King getting his body behind it. The ball | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
is kept in by Kieran Trippier. Here is Janssen. Winks dispossessed, | :06:27. | :06:54. | |
good challenge by Onyedinma. Free kick, Millwall. Played up | :06:55. | :07:19. | |
towards Gregory. It has been really tough for | :07:20. | :07:51. | |
Millwall, this. Tottenham aren't just the Premier League team, they | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
are a very, very good Premier League team, who, at home, are nearly | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
unbeatable, at times. Their defensive shape, their quality, | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
organisation, creativity and energy going forward. It was a massive ask | :08:07. | :08:18. | |
for Millwall. Janssen... A long way wide in the end. Can't blame him, | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
get it out of your feet and have a go. Spurs making another change. | :08:23. | :08:32. | |
Victor Wanyama is coming off to be replaced by Moussa Sissoko. He was | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
good, Wanyama, especially in the first half. Really good season for | :08:42. | :08:55. | |
his new club. Sissoko comes on. He has not had the impact at White Hart | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Lane, yet, that Spurs would have been hoping for since his move from | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
Newcastle. His pretty hefty move from Newcastle in terms of shillings | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
and pence. Yeah, he's been inconsistent. Certainly not short of | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
ability. Pochettino was quite openly critical of him back in the autumn. | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
Ooh, a mistake by Eric Dier. Vorm away. On site here, Son. Jansen! | :09:33. | :09:47. | |
He will be ecstatic with that. Getting become -- getting the | :09:48. | :10:06. | |
congratulations all his team-mates. Vincent Janssen scores from open | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
play for the first time for Tottenham Hotspur. You can see what | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
it means to him. Son did really well for him, you are thinking, Ayew | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
going to go on your own for the hat-trick? He looks up and sees him | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
in a better position. Really tidy finish, that is. Crisply hit into | :10:25. | :10:36. | |
the corner. And exactly why Pochettino was right to bring him on | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
in a game like this. They are absolutely thrilled for him. Ten | :10:45. | :10:55. | |
starts, 20 substitute appearances, first goal from open play. | :10:56. | :11:08. | |
That will do him the world of good. Might get another one in a minute. | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
Here he is again, Janssen scrapping for it. Cummings only just evading | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
Christian Eriksen. That's an wise from Shaun Cummings, here's Ben | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Davies. Put behind for the Spurs corner. With ten minutes to go it's | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
kind of pick a number at the moment as to how many more Spurs might get. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Well, they are dead on their feet, aren't they, Millwall? | :11:39. | :11:56. | |
Out by Onyedinma, back to Christian Eriksen. Goalkick. Remember many | :11:57. | :12:11. | |
years ago Arsenal fans had T-shirts printed, I saw Jensen score. Similar | :12:12. | :12:21. | |
name. To be fair he had scored prior to today but only from the penalty | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
spot. Might be the first of many, who knows? Careers have turned on | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
less than that. Could well do. Whistle had gone already before | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Gregory lashed that. It can be hard at a new team, you get a run in the | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
team and it doesn't quite go for you, your confidence drops and | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
before you know it you are being looked at different than you were | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
six months previous. So hopefully it will get better for him now. Neil | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
Harris now is just concerned that his team does not unravel in the | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
last ten minutes. Here is Son Heung-Min. Trippier, there's a space | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
everywhere for Spurs. Behind by Craig for yet another Tottenham | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
corner. To 11 now. Trippier. Sissoko. | :13:20. | :13:32. | |
In from the Vertonghen, Jansen! Welcome he really should have | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
scored. He should have. Great ball in as well. I mean, it was an easier | :13:42. | :14:01. | |
chance than the one he scored. Here it is. Doesn't get a great contact | :14:02. | :14:10. | |
on it. Got to aim that more to the back post. Putting it in just about | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
the only place Tom King could possibly save it. Here he is again, | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
Janssen. Deflected. He will want to get one more, I | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
would imagine, after missing that. Who is to say in the next six | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
minutes he went? Because Tottenham are completely on top. | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
Getting a little carried away, Harry Winks. Hoping that he could get in | :14:44. | :15:03. | |
on the act. He's an exciting young prospect for Tottenham Hotspur, is | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
Harry Winks. I think he's a super player. I've seen him three times | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
live now. He's very confident. He always wants the ball. It doesn't | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
look to faze him, no matter how big the game. Great future ahead of him. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Gives you a minute or two to consider your Man of the Match, | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
Danny, in this FA Cup quarterfinal. Here is Williams. Spurs throw. | :15:30. | :15:51. | |
Obviously this has been a step too far for Millwall today. Yeah, I mean | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
they will be disappointed because they've been battered, basically, by | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
a really good team. But they should not be down on themselves, they've | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
had a great run, beaten three Premier League teams. They've all | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
been good goals, but the first two especially, super quality. And once | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
they went 2-0 up, it's very difficult for them to come out and | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
try and press Spurs. They should just be proud and not let it affect | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
their form coming up in the league. Davies hammering it into Shaun | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
Cummings. Who is your Man of the Match, Danny? There has been some | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
great performances, Eriksen has been terrific, Dele Alli again. But I'm | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
going to go for Son. Not just his goals, since he has gone up front he | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
has ran the channels, his movement has been great, his touch has been | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
good. He's give the assist to Janssen. For me, best player on the | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
pitch today. Son Heung-Min will be pleased with his goal tally this | :17:05. | :17:05. | |
season, 13. Eriksen Ford, Son might get his | :17:06. | :17:18. | |
hat-trick yet, Son finding space. Important touch by Craig to take it | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
away from him, well timed touch as well, actually. I tell you what, | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
there was an argument to take him on because with Harry Kane injured you | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
need to protect him now. I think Pochettino wisely taking off Dele | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
Alli with two stars shining brighter than the rest of this Spurs team, | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
then it is probably Kane and Alli. That's true. Vincent Janssen almost | :17:46. | :17:57. | |
finding Son. Gregory. Onyedinma here for Millwall, back into Gregory, who | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
has done well to get there. Vincent Janssen being held by | :18:00. | :18:27. | |
Webster. So this is it now, the last couple of minutes of FA Cup football | :18:28. | :18:39. | |
at one of the grand old homes of cup football, White Hart Lane. Their | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
biggest win was 13- to hear against Crewe. Even the new stadium were | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
holed quite as many. A bright future for this club and this team, and an | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
FA Cup semifinal for certain coming their way. Trippier. Sissoko. | :19:00. | :19:19. | |
Son Heung-min. Williams got his head on that. It was a good strike. It | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
looked to me that it had the curl he was hoping to get as well which | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
might have taken it in the top corner. Here is Winks. Spurs looking | :19:29. | :19:39. | |
for a sixth. Sissoko. Deflected. Vincent Janssen. It is a free kick. | :19:40. | :19:52. | |
He will have appreciated the gesture, Vincent Janssen, every | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
single outfield player came to congratulate him. What is important | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
about that is he is well liked, obviously popular amongst the squad, | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
and that means he's doing something right in training, he's obviously | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
working hard, getting on with the lads, it gives him half a chance. | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
Still emotionally part of the group. Sometimes if you are having a bad | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
time yourself you can let it affect your mood and your relationships | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
with your team-mates when you are new to a club and feel a bit | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
isolated, but obviously not the case with Janssen. Here is Sissoko, | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
nicely done by Son Heung-min. Sissoko. Out by Cooper. Trippier. | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
Lee Mason, the fourth official, is waving his board about getting it | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
ready. Son Heung-min, lovely feet, Eriksen. Sissoko. Harry Winks. Maybe | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
a couple of feet off the mark from Harry Winks. Still a good effort, | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
though. I like the fact he's prepared to take on his weak foot. | :21:00. | :21:12. | |
Technically a very good shot. Just a few inches past the post. He has | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
that mindset, confidence, at such a young age. | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
Still, Onyedinma in support. Cummings looking to take on | :21:27. | :21:43. | |
Vertonghen. Beaten to it by Davies. Moussa Sissoko here, Spurs might | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
break if Sissoko gets his pass right, Sissoko still, Christian | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
Eriksen is onside, Janssen and Son in the middle, Son on a hat-trick | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
and here he is Andy King lets it through his legs for six and Son has | :21:57. | :22:05. | |
his hat-trick. Well, you have to feel sorry for Tom King in the | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
Millwall goal. But Son Heung-min gets a hat-trick and Spurs get six. | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
Sissoko, brilliant run, good pick out from Eriksen, he doesn't quite | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
get hold of it. You've got a feel for him but you've got to be happy | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
for Son, his performance has warranted the hat-trick. The keeper | :22:30. | :22:39. | |
will not want to see that again. It is rather cruelly being played time | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
and again on the big screen. I know, I know. He cannot fail to see it. | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
Pretty much six of the best, a bit of a masterclass from Tottenham | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
Hotspur in the art of finishing, even without their main man. | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
Thoughts will turn to Harry Kane and what the medical staff have to say | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
about the injury to his right ankle. But Spurs turned it on even without | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
Harry Kane, far too good for Millwall in the end. They are | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
through to the last four of the FA Cup. Eriksen scored a good goal, | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
Janssen scored his first goal from open play, Dele Alli scored a | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
beautifully crafted tap in and Son Heung-min got three. Tottenham | :23:31. | :23:31. | |
Hotspur 6-0 Millwall. STUDIO: Spurs are on their way to | :23:32. | :23:41. | |
Wembley, as they like to say in these parts, as they often are these | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
days, of course, and will be for much of next season, hat-trick for | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Son, Pochettino will be happy, and all in all a massive gulf in class, | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
Alan. Yes, a very professional and impressive performance from | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
Tottenham, they never gave Millwall a sniff, Millwall didn't have an | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
effort on target, going forward some of their goals were superb, the | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
technique of three or four of the goals was great to watch. Very one | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
sided, Teddy. Yes, we said ten minutes at the start of the second | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
half would be crucial but Tottenham killed it off with a fantastic goal | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
for Son, with his second and the third goal killed it off. We have | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
seen lots of football from Tottenham as we have on many occasions this | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
season. Very professional from back to front, stand-up performances, Son | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
got the hat-trick but Trippier at right back was sensational and Harry | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
Winks was calm and control in midfield and ever impressive, | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
Pochettino obviously giving his players a hug and he will be | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
delighted. Difficult one for Millwall to bounce back from. You | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
just hope it doesn't have some kind of negative effect on their league | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
form. Yes, they've got to put that out of the window now, you've had | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
your day out at White Hart Lane, back to the bread-and-butter, they | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
play Bury at home next week and they are in a promotion push and they | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
need to get back to winning ways and put it out of their minds and get | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
back to winning ways next week. It was a bit of a lesson, though. It | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
was always going to be tough, nobody other than the Millwall fans thought | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
they could go away with a victory today but it was total domination | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
from Tottenham, very, very professional from start to finish | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
and some excellent goals. We will start with the second half goals, we | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
will have a look at those. Son's second of the game, fabulous pass | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
and wonderful finish over the shoulder. The weight of pass is | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
superb, the run in the first place but the technique coming over the | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
right shoulder, and the technique to get it on target, it was a brilliant | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
goal. Everything about the goal was just superb. This is exactly why he | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
came on, or he stayed on and Janssen didn't, it was a case of stretching | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
them behind and little balls over the top, perfect timing, fantastic | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
ball as you said from Trippier, and a wonderful finish. As is so often | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
the case, in recent weeks, Dele Alli got in on the goal-scoring act | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
again. He makes so many runs into the box, eventually one will drop to | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
him. He missed an opportunity from a great ball from Alderweireld | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
actually, but he was never going to miss this one, intelligent play from | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
Winks in midfield, lovely pass out wide to Trippier and this pass from | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
Eriksen this spot on, beautiful football. It is, as a team goal that | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
is as good as it gets and it is real quality but it's about Dele Alli | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
consistently making runs into the box at the right time at the right | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
moments. He gets his head down. That was the difference in standard, how | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
they passed it so quickly and moved it so quickly, Millwall couldn't | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
cope with it. Perhaps the biggest cheer was for Vincent Janssen for | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
understandable reasons, his first goal in open play, it has been a | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
long time coming, you could feel the relief around the stadium. Without | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
doubt, and a lovely goal for him, and sometimes when you get 3-0, 4-0 | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
up people start taking the Mickey out of other teams and getting a | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
little bit flash but this was a professional performance by | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
Tottenham in the second half, 3-0 up and the game was over with half an | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
hour to go and they still played it properly and that's why the goal | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
came about, they opened the team, short pass, lovely finish. That is | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
what the manager would want, you put him on because he could see they | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
were creating chances and that is why he put him on, to do that. We | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
can hear from one of the Tottenham goal-scorers, Dele Alli. | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
What a performance and result and you have shown everybody you are up | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
for this cup. Definitely, we fancied ourselves | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
today, we knew it would not be easy for us but we knew if we stuck to | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
the game plan and the chances would come and we stuck them away. Some | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
great finishes and he will needed to step up when Harry Kane went off. It | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
was a difficult start in that regard but some great finishes. Definitely, | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
always horrible to use Dummett lose a player like Kane but it shows the | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
depth and quality we have in the squad, when he went off everybody | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
stepped up and rose up and everybody stepped up a gear and we wish him a | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
speedy recovery. We have together and see what has happened to him but | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
it was an important win for us, not just for the cup but for the league, | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
important to keep the form and get the goals. You were relentless as | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
well, you didn't switch off or slow down when it got a three or four. | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
Why is that? What is it about this team? We are hungry for goals, we | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
knew it would be a difficult game and we didn't want to give them a | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
chance to get back into it because they have got a threat and when it | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
was 2-0 it is a horrible result in case they score and it can get a bit | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
nervy but everyone wants to score and get goals and that is a good | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
thing for this team. Well done, Dele Alli. | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
Thank you. Let's round it off, six goals for Tottenham, three for Son, | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
nice hat-trick for him. Bit of a shame for the keeper. I felt sorry | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
for the goalkeeper, the other five he had no chance with those goals | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
but this one he should save it, it is straight at him. But very good | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
for Son, in the position again. Straight through Tom King. It's all | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
about hitting the target, as you three constantly talk about, because | :29:05. | :29:08. | |
there is a chance that the keeper will make a mistake. He deserved his | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
hat-trick, great performance. Great for his confidence also because if | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
Kane is going to miss a bit of the season he will have to step up and | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
put in those performances. And it is a boost for Tottenham because they | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
will need that cover. It looks like it but we hope it is nothing | :29:25. | :29:27. | |
serious. Three goals coming on playing as a centre forward, you'd | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
be delighted with that every time. The semifinals might be a bit tasty. | :29:32. | :29:38. | |
There are few names in there. Tottenham, Manchester City command | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
either Chelsea or Manchester United. It is a bit tasty now in the | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
semifinal. Who do you fancy in the last one? Chelsea or Manchester | :29:46. | :29:53. | |
United? Chelsea. Who do you think? Who do I think? Just thought you | :29:54. | :30:00. | |
might go against the grain. I think Chelsea. Should be good game, on BBC | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
One tomorrow night. Make sure you don't miss it, Chelsea against | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
Manchester United and then we will know the four semifinalists but one | :30:10. | :30:12. | |
of them are Spurs, through to the semifinal of the FA Cup on a happy | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
Sunday. From all of us here, goodbye. | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
COMMENTATOR: Will it be Tottenham? Will it be Millwall? That is a sad | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
sight for Tottenham fans. Dele Alli, was he being held? | :30:26. | :30:32. | |
Eriksen! Great finish from Christian Eriksen. | :30:33. | :30:34. | |
Son Heung-min! That's a brilliant goal. | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
Son, that's a good one, well found, 3-0. | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
Tap in, 4-0, Dele Alli. Janssen! | :30:45. | :30:47. |
