MARK OF PORRO

Spurs lack firepower without Son until Pedro hits a cracker

IT IS amazing the depths players will go to when faced with the prospect of spending the winter break at Turf Moor.

An FA Cup replay in the NorthWest was looking on the cards instead of enjoying a breather after the busy festive period.

But with 12 minutes to go, Pedro Porro fired a thunderous strike into the top corner to get Tottenham into the fourth round.

Eric Dier, at the same time, seems to be leaving nothing to chance. He was an absentee from the squad for this meeting after reports of a verbal agreement with Bayern Munich to join Harry Kane in Germany. Spurs are working on a replacement in Genoa’s Radu Dragusin.
