Spurs drub Tranmere for record FA Cup win
BIRKENHEAD, England (AP):
Tottenham recorded the biggest away win in club history yesterday as Fernando Llorente scored a hat-trick to help crush fourth-tier Tranmere 7-0 in the third round of the English FA Cup.
Tranmere held out until Serge Aurier got Tottenham rolling with a strike from 27 yards out, five minutes before half-time.
Son Heung-min set up Llorente and Aurier early in the second half and made it 4-0 with a goal of his own in the 57th.
Llorente then added back-to-back goals in the 71st and 72nd before late substitute Harry Kane capped the demolition.
Besides the biggest road victory for the club founded in 1882, it was also its largest margin of victory since beating Wigan Athletic 9-1 in 2009.
