SOUTH KOREA FORWARD Son Heung-Min produced a brilliant goal and assist as Tottenham won 2-0 to secure a trip to third-tier Colchester United in the fourth round.
In the teams’ third encounter in 11 days — the 2-2 draw in the first FA Cup meeting having been followed by Leicester’s 1-0 win at White Hart Lane in the league — the hosts made nine changes and visitors Spurs eight.
Son broke the deadlock in breathtaking style in the 39th minute, flashing a rocket of a shot past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel from the right-hand apex of the penalty area.
After home debutant Demarai Gray had seen a curler clawed away by Michel Vorm, Son’s beautifully weighted pass freed Nacer Chadli to stroke a left-foot shot beneath Schmeichel in the 66th minute.
