Always hard to judge on a radio commentary but it sounds comfertable and it seems that we haven't even broken out of coasting mode yet . . . .

1544: Slick passing from Spurs allows Roman Pavlyuchenko a simple finish from six yards. The home side easing past Cheltenham without breaking sweat as it stands.


The above is from the BBC. Unless Pavy was passing to himself I would think it would be fair to say it was a team goal . . . . .

Rested Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker on Twitter: "Lovely team goal Gio again with a lovely pass to Defoe and a square ball to Pav for a tap in. 2-0 Spurs."

Tottenham 3 - 0 Cheltenham


Defoe follows in to score his second goal in as many games for Spurs

Tottenham advanced into round four of the FA Cup after a comfortable victory at White Hart in their first competitive match against Cheltenham.

Jermain Defoe put Spurs ahead midway through the first half, sliding in on the goal-line after Giovani dos Santos chipped goalkeeper Scott Brown.

Roman Pavlyuchenko made it two shortly before the break, stroking in from six yards after a slick one-touch move.

Cheltenham showed plenty of spirit but Giovani lifted in a late third.

It was a comfortable afternoon for Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, who made 10 changes to the team that beat West Brom in midweek.

A capacity crowd saw Michael Dawson back as captain, returning to the starting line-up for the first time since a 5-1 home defeat by Manchester City in August.

There was little chance of a repeat of that scoreline but, roared on throughout by the 5,000 travelling fans packing out their allocation at the Park Lane end, the Robins, second in League Two, made a confident start as Kaid Mohamed raced clear in the opening moments and forced Carlo Cudicini into a low save.

Spurs employed widemen Niko Kranjcar and Steven Pienaar in unusual central midfield roles and midfielder Jake Livermore at right-back but soon found their customary passing touch, Giovani and Aaron Lennon causing numerous problems to the Cheltenham defence with their pace and trickery.

Pavlyuchenko jinked away from the the defenders and curled a shot on to the roof of the net but Cheltenham kept their shape admirably and Russell Penn drove narrowly over the bar from 25 yards.
However, midway through the half they were a goal behind.

Kranjcar freed Giovani down the left flank with an intricate pass, and, after sprinting clear, the talented Mexican international lifted over the advancing Cheltenham goalkeeper Scott Brown.

The ball was heading for the net but Defoe demonstrated his predatory instincts by sliding in to apply the finishing touch.

Spurs kept possession stylishly and Pavlyuchenko, making his first start for 13 matches, started and finished a delightful second.

He found Giovani, who freed Defoe in the box and the England striker squared for Pavlyuchenko to slot into an empty net.

Cheltenham's industry restricted the home side to only one chance in the first 20 minutes after the break, Defoe wriggling clear and firing a low shot which Brown kept out smartly at the near post.

They might also have given their supporters the goal they craved when substitute Junior Smikle beat Danny Rose down the Cheltenham right and pulled back for Penn, but again he sent his shot over the top.

Giovani was rewarded for an impressive display down the flanks with a late third, his shot looping in over Brown via a deflection off Steve Elliott.

Marlon Pack was another Cheltenham player to shoot over late on and Redknapp will be satisfied to achieve his aim of guiding Spurs safely into the fourth-round draw, while resting his key players ahead of Wednesday's home Premier League match with Everton.
