Newport knocked out of the FA Cup by Tottenham Hotspur

Newport put up a decent fight against Tottenham but it wasn't enough to see them through to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

They were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley. It was only the second defeat in eight matches for Michael Flynn's men.

Erik Lamela scored his first goal in 17 months as Tottenham sauntered past the League Two side. But an own goal by Dan Butler sealed the win for the Spurs.

Tottenham broke the deadlock on 26 minutes. Llorente fed Moussa Sissoko out wide and his low cross was diverted in by Butler at the near post.

Newport's belief seemed to evaporate instantly as Son Heung-min and the lively Lamela both unleashed shots at Joe Day, with the same pair then combining for a second goal.

Son, the best player on the pitch in the first half, scuttled in from the left and slipped in Lamela, who poked home for his first goal since September 2016.

The second half followed much the same pattern and the only blot on Tottenham's night was that it failed to yield a much-needed goal for Llorente, who missed a free header from Lamela's cross and then swiped an even better chance wide when picked out by substitute Christian Eriksen.

Dele Alli, booed by the Newport fans when he came on, hit the crossbar when put through one-on-one, while Amond was denied a late consolation by Vorm.

Harry Kane's goal rescued a 1-1 draw in the first meeting, but the Premier League side looked comfortable the second time around.

7,000 fans travelled to London for the game. As Tottenham prepare to face Rochdale in the next round, Newport continue their quest in League Two.
