Tottenham advanced to the FA Cup’s 32nd round by winning a big win, saving the main players such as Son Heung-min (29) and Harry Kane (28).
Tottenham won 5-0. Son Heung-min, who was named on the replacement list on this day, watched the victory of his colleagues on the bench. Son Heung-min did not play in the match after the fourth match of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League group stage against Ludogorets on November 27 last year.
Tottenham, who faced amateur club Marine, started out with Harvey White (20), Carlos Vinicius (26), and Joe Hart (34), who didn’t get a lot of opportunities this season. The chance to score came first to Marine. In the 19th minute of the first half, Marin’s counterattack, Neil Kengni, attempted a mid-range shot with his left foot and hit the top of Tottenham’s goal.
But from then on, Tottenham’s unilateral game continued. In the 24th minute of the first half, Dele Ali (25) scored the opening goal by Vinisius. Vinicius scored in the 30th and 37th minutes of the first half and achieved a hat-trick. In the 32nd minute, Lucas Moura (29) scored a direct shot from a free kick.
Tottenham, who was ahead by four goals, replaced Zapet Tangganga (22) and Alpi Divine (17) at the start of the second half. In the 15th minute of the second half, Divine attempted an accurate shot with his right foot with two opponents in front of him, scoring Tottenham’s fifth goal. With this goal, Divine set the record for the youngest goal ever in Tottenham.
