'Spurs Sink Stoke'

Host Richard Cracknell was joined by Lee McQueen, Jamie Brown from Daily Hotspur and Chris Cowlin as the Last Word On Spurs returned. Tottenham moved to within two wins of a first major trophy since 2008 after seeing off Championship Stoke City in the Carabao Cup. Gareth Bale's third goal since returning on loan from Real Madrid saw Jose Mourinho's side take the lead, the Wales forward beating Andy Lonergan with a flicked header from Harry Winks' wonderful delivery. Spurs were dominant and should have scored more before half-time but Lonergan, part of Liverpool's title-winning squad of last season, made good saves to twice deny Dele Alli as well as Harry Kane. Stoke were much better after the interval and equalised with their first shot on target when Jacob Brown picked out Jordan Thompson to produce a controlled finish past Hugo Lloris. But Ben Davies' 25 yard finish in-off the post ensured Spurs regained the lead before Kane lashed home his side's third goal. Tottenham avoided holders Manchester City in the semi-final draw and will now face Championship side Brentford in early January in a one-off tie. #THFC #COYS #TOTTENHAM #HOTSPUR #TOTTENHAMHOTSPUR #SPURS #STKTOT #CARABAOCUP Learn more about your ad choices.
