Rochdale of course are non-league opposition and they put up a good fight until Llorente turned up with a perfect hat trick-right foot, left foot and a headed goal.
It is the first time in 10 years that the quarter-finals of the FA Cup include eight teams with not one club name beginning with a vowel! Who gets this stuff?
Spurs go to Swansea in the last 8 and become the first "top flight" club to play twice away in Wales in the cup-remember brave Newport?
Spurs will face another club that they have never met before for the 4th successive round; AFC Wimbledon, Newport County, Rochdale and Swansea.
Fascinating ain't it?!
More stuff-on this day:- WBA beat Chatham in the 3rd Round of the Cup 10-1. The Baggies had beaten Burnley 5-1 in the previous round, and Small Heath 3-2 before that. They then lost to PNE, eventual winners, in the semi-final.
In 1903 Portsmouth provided the professional captain of the England national side, R. Crompton, v Wales, a game they won 2-1. The club had previously also provided and the first amateur captain, VJ Woodward.
