Tottenham advanced to the FA Cup’s 32nd round, winning a complete victory while saving the main players such as Son Heung-min and Harry Kane.
Tottenham won 5-0 in the 3rd round of the 2020-21 FA Cup against Marine FC at Merseyside Crosby Rosset Park in England on the 11th (Korean time) and advanced to the round of 32.
Son Heung-min, who was named on the replacement list on this day, watched the victory of his colleagues on the bench. This is the first time Son Heung-min has not participated in the match since the fourth round of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League group stage match against Ludogorets on November 27 last year.
Tottenham did not start with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane against Marines in Premier League Division One North West (8th division). Instead, Harvey White, Carlos Vinicius, and Joe Hart, who did not get many opportunities this season, were selected.
Tottenham lost some of the main players, but from the start of the game, he gained a high share of the ball and launched a wave of waves. But overall, it was difficult to lower the line and penetrate the defending marine.
Rather, Marine made the decisive goal chance first. In the 19th minute of the first half, Marin counterattacked, and Neil Kengni attempted a mid-range shot with his left foot and hit the post.
Overcoming the crisis, Tottenham increased the offensive and scored first in the 24th minute of the first half. Carlos Vinicius pushed the ball that Dele Ali had laid low in front of the goal from the right flank to score the opening goal.
Tottenham scored consecutive goals after the first goal. In the 30th minute of the first half, Vinisius scored his second goal, and in the 32nd minute of the first half, Lucas Moura made a direct shot from a free kick to score the team’s third goal.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Vinicius achieved a hat-trick by connecting the shot after winning the competition with the opponent’s defense in front of the Marine goal.
Tottenham, who was ahead by four goals, subtracted Toby Al-Daveyreld and Musa Sissoko at the start of the second half, and replaced Zapet Tanganga and Alpi Divine.
The 17-year-old Divine, who got a chance to play in the second half, scored Tottenham’s fifth goal in the 15th minute of the second half with two opponents in front of him and an accurate shot with his right foot. Divine, 16 years old and 163 days old, set the record for the youngest goal ever in Tottenham with this goal.
Tottenham, who had virtually confirmed the victory, changed the attack by putting Gareth Bale and Jack Clark in place of Ali and Moura in the second half of the 19th minute. Tottenham, who ran the game with the rest of the time, finished five goals and advanced to the FA Cup final of 32.
