in fact, the gulf with jose mourinho's team is the biggest in fa cup history.

so a comfortable victory for spurs and their managerjose mourinho, who felt his team did well to winre a team with very specific qualities that are very easy to understand but a very difficult to play against. so, we knew that was not going to be easy. we tried not to give them what they want. we tried to close the door to the situations where they heard people. and we tried to explore situations where we felt we could hurt them where we were fine. we had good mobility in attack, we run away from their men to men marking and we create lots of spaces and we could score more goals. elsewhere in the premier league, a stunning solo goal from eberechi eze, sealed a 2—0 win for crystal palace against bottom side sheffield united. jeff schlupp gave palace an early lead — before this fine effort from eze. taking the ball from his own half, evading several challenges before cooly slotting home against the hapless united defence. the win takes them up to 12th — sheffield united are 6 points adrift, and still after their first victory. elsewhere, brighton and wolves drew 3—3 in a cracking game

marine's manager though, full of praise for his side and forjose mourinho.ugh lots of games to get here and to bring the team that he did and then do still bring in gareth bale and others off the bench, you know? in the end... we we re bench, you know? in the end... we were laughing, and who was coming off the bench, but you have got to show great respect. i can't ask any more of our lads. you know, a bit sloppy at times in certain situations and probably got some more tackles and at times, but you are playing against world—class footballers and they make it look easy, time, strength, pace, but others say very proud but have achieved. —— but as i say. if league two morecambe had been hoping to spring a shock this afternoon, those hopes didn't last too long at stamford bridge. it was always going to be an impossible task for them, especially given the covid outbreak they've suffered over the last couple of weeks. they only returned to training on tuesday after coming out of isolation. this is england's mason mount opening the scoring for chelsea. frank lampar
