Tottenham march on to an FA Cup semi but Fulham prove tough opponents at White Hart Lane

Spurs are on their way to Wembley after an FA Cup quarter-final replay win over Fulham.

But it was not plain sailing for Tottenham who had to come back from a one-goal deficit after conceding to in-form ex-Spur Bobby Zamora in the first half of a fantastic encounter at White Hart Lane.

A double substitution by Harry Redknapp brought Tom Huddlestone and David Bentley on and it was the England winger who made the difference with a 46th minute free kick that flashed across the box and past Mark Schwarzer.

And it was another substitute, Roman Pavlyucheko, who put Tottenham ahead before Eidar Gudjohnsen added the cherry to the cake with a third. With a two goal deficit the game was up and the backers of Spurs at [5.0] in running could look forward to collecting.
