Both teams lacked motivation during the first half, which was played in a dull atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Emerson Royal and Heung-Min Son's goals gave Spurs a much-improved team in the second half, and they easily cruised to victory.

For Spurs, who had dropped their previous two games across all competitions, the outcome was a welcome one.
