Five things spotted in Spurs win
Tottenham cruised through to the fourth round of the FA Cup after beating non-league minnows Marine 5-0 on Sunday evening.
A first-half hat-trick from Carlos Vinicius, a superb free-kick from Lucas Moura and a debut strike from Alfie Devine secured the victory for Jose Mourinho's men in Crosby.
Mourinho chose not to pick the majority of his first-team against the eighth-tier club, handing opportunities for some of Spurs' young stars.
The likes of the aforementioned Devine, as well as Harvey White and Jack Clarke all had the chance to impress for the Premier League side - and that they certainly did.

Spurs player ratings as Devine makes history
Devine, who is just 16-years-old, made history for Tottenham in their comfortably win against Marine.
Collecting the ball on the left-hand side, the teenager cut it onto his right foot before smashing the ball into the near-post and leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.
Devine became the youngest Spurs player to take to the pitch in a competitive fixture and made it even more of a memorable occasion as he struck home his side's fifth goal of the game, to become the youngest ever goalscorer in a competitive senior fixture.
He looked very impressive when he stepped onto the pitch, and his performance earned him an 8/10 in football.london 's player ratings.

Spurs fans' Alli theory
Tottenham supporters believe Mourinho only started Dele Alli in Sunday's win to grab attention from Mauricio Pochettino at Paris-Saint Germain.
Alli has been largely out-of-favour at Spurs this season and has been linked with a reunion with former boss Pochettino, after the ex-Tottenham manager was appointed as the PSG manager recently.
Now, Spurs supporters have taken to social media (via the Daily Star ) to reveal what they think is Mourinho's thinking with the England international.
“Jose Mourinho sticking Dele Alli in the starting squad against Marine to ‘put him in the show window’ for PSG is the real magic of the cup,” one Spurs supporter said.
Whilst another commented: “At least Dele Alli’s getting an idea here of how the majority of Ligue 1 games will be if or when he joins Pochettino at PSG.”
