Tottenham coast into FA Cup semi-finals

Tottenham Hotspur has booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a 3-0 victory at Swansea City in Saturday’s clash at the Liberty Stadium.
Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela both netted efforts from outside of the area during the first half, before Eriksen confirmed his side’s progress with a second goal after the break.
After receiving the ball from Lamela, Eriksen was allowed to move towards the penalty area before curling a delightful effort into the far corner from 20 yards out.
Midway through the first half, Son Heung-min had the ball in the net after collecting a high ball before finding the underside of the crossbar with his half-volley, but his goal was harshly ruled out by a combination of the assistant and VAR.
Spurs responded through Dier, who watched Nordfeldt somehow manage to prevent his 30-yard attempt from finding the top corner, but the visitors did not have to wait long for their third.
Dier and Moura combined before Eriksen was teed up on the edge of the area, and the midfielder managed to drill the ball through a number of defenders to beat Nordfeldt from 20 yards.
Eriksen soon set about trying to complete his hat-trick but from almost an identical position for his second goal, his attempt was comfortably saved by Nordfeldt.
The final quarter of the match was played at a lower tempo, but Mauricio Pochettino still opted to introduce Dele Alli for a cameo appearance while keeping the much-used Eriksen and Alli on the pitch.
Former Swansea forward Fernando Llorente squandered two close-range openings for Spurs after being brought on a substitute but it mattered little as Spurs comfortably sealed their place in the semi-finals of this competition for the second successive year.
