Lucas Moura strikes to send Tottenham through and add to Burnley misery

Tottenham are into the next round and will not care how they spluttered against the equally misfiring Burnley. In a tie where classy moments were scarce the winner came from a sole sparkling sequence that had Emerson Royal roving along the right-back’s flank before his delivery was met by Lucas Moura’s cool header.

On this showing Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Manchester United would seem to have an ideal opponent on Saturday against whom to arrest their dire form, though Tottenham were only at half-strength.
