93'FT: Tottenham 4-0 Huddersfield! Lucas Moura claimed a hat-trick after Victor Wanyama opened the scoring as Spurs totally dominated a Huddersfield side who looked lack-lustre. The perfect result ahead of the second leg of their Champions League quarter final against Manchester City!
Goaaaaaal!

93'GOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLL SPURS! Son charges down the left unchallenged before setting up Lucas Moura for what can only be described as a ridiculous finish! He took it on the run, first time, at an angle! That for the hat-trick!
Goaaaaaal!

-
87'GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL SPURS!!! Lucas Moura with a second after he controls Eriksen's cross perfectly and finishes well giving Hamer no chance really.
-
87'I stand corrected. Llorente is not able to continue and is replaced by Son.
Substitution
at Tottenham Hotspur
-
85'Spurs replace Vertonghen with Rose. Perhaps to inject some pace down the left wing!
-
83'Kachunga feels he should have had a penalty and lets the referee know!
-
82'Spurs are quick off the mark from the resulting corner and charge up field on the counter. It comes to Eriksen who's effort is certainly not up to Premier League standards, let alone Champions League.
-
80'For what I genuinely think is the first time Huddersfield enter Spurs' half, Lloris is woken up with a dangerous shot from Bacuna! The French keeper parries it onto the bar for a corner!
-
76'Grant charges down the left, cuts inside Sanchez and blasts it over the bar. He did well to stay up after Sanchez's challenge, and had he done down, Huddersfield might have had a penalty.
-
75'Vertonghen is the latest addition to the referee's book. Not clear what for though.
Substitution
at Tottenham Hotspur
-
74'Spurs make a substitution, bringing Skipp on for Sissoko.
-
73'Eriksen fires it wide! It's clear that this Spurs team aren't used to playing together, they're struggling to connect and find a final finish.
-
72'Llorente, now limping but looks to be able to walk it off.
-
71'Lucas Moura flicks it onto Eriksen who finds Llorente. He dances around with it a bit in the area before fluffing the shot. Definitely should have done better.
Substitution
at Huddersfield Town
-
69'Huddersfield opt for a change of personnel to spark things up a bit. Durm comes off for Mounie.
-
67'Huddersfield are getting frustrated and it shows. Bacuna booked this time for chipping away at Sissoko.
-
66'Another chance for Spurs as Vertonghen gets up for a header, unchallenged, but it bounces just wide! Spurs in a bit more of a rhythm now.
-
64'Lucas Moura drives hard towards the D before releasing a shot. Hamer deals with it well.

61'Foyth goes into the book for a strong challenge on Grant.
-
59'This is proving to be quite a useful training session for Huddersfield!
-
56'Both look to be fine and are reintroduced to the action.
-
55'Wanyama and Kachunga collide and both are down injured.
-
51'Much like the first-half, Huddersfield are yet to advance out of their own half. I guess there's not much you can do when you haven't got the ball.
-
47'CHANCE SPURS! Llorente hits the bar after Foyth's ball sailed over the defence. What a lovely goal that would have been!
-
46'Play has resumed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium! Any more goals left in this game?
-
45'HT: Tottenham 2-0 Huddersfield. Not much to report really. Spurs dominated possession and made it count with two goals in the space of three minutes. Huddersfield had infrequent chances but struggled to settle into a rhythm. More of the same expected for the second-half! Stay tuned!
Yellow card
a Huddersfield Town
-
45'Lowe goes into the book just before half time for a challenge on Wanyama.
-
39'Llorente this time with a chance for Spurs! His flicks a header on towards goal from Eriksen's free-kick which has Hamer flying. Close!
-
34'The tempo has certainly slowed somewhat since the second goal. One can't help thinking the situation would be different if we had a striker on the pitch!
-
32'Stankovic and Huddersfield feel they should have a penalty after the midfielder was brought down in the box. It's a no from the ref.
-
30'CHANCE HUDDERSFIELD! Stankovic charges in to get contact on the corner but he scuffs it and it dribbles behind for a Spurs goal kick.
-
29'Huddersfield put a ball across the box from deep which catches Spurs defenders out a bit. Luckily there was nobody in the box for the visitors. Huddersfield need to be careful here that they don't completely go under!
Goaaaaaal!

27'GOOOAAAAAAAAALLLL SPURS!!! And the floodgates have opened! Lucas Moura this time hammers it past Hamer after Spurs build an attack down the right hand side this time, with the first goalscorer, Wanyama.
Goaaaaaal!

24'GOOOOAAAAAALLL TOTTENHAM! Victor Wanyama opens the scoring for Spurs after Ben Davies threaded a lovely ball through to open up the defence. Could that be the first of many this afternoon for Spurs?
-
22'Not only are Spurs lacking a bit of oomph, the fans aren't exactly thrilled themselves. Can you blame them? Today's match isn't quite of the same calibre as Tuesday's.
-
19'That didn't last long. Spurs are back in control and are now testing the waters in midfield.
-
18'Huddersfield with the ball in Tottenham's box! They're managing to retain a period of possession and at least two or three crosses are chipped across the box. More of the same please!
-
16'Tottenham charging up field again, this time with Ben Davies down the left flank. As much as their in complete control of this game, they're definitely missing a figurehead to look towards up front. Balls into the box are more hopeful than accurate.
-
12'Huddersfield haven't settled into this game at all. Tottenham enjoying 90% of possession.
-
8'Hamer tries to release Ahearne-Grant but it ends up flying over everyone and into Lloris' safe hands.
-
6'Unsurprisingly, it's all Tottenham at the start of this game. I'll go out on a limb here, that could well be the case for the remaining 85 minutes of this match.
-
4'Hamer fluffs a routine catch and Lucas Moura, who chased it is there to put him under pressure. The Huddersfield keeper recovers well.
-
3'Lucas Moura is brought down on the edge of the area and Spurs have a free kick! Eriksen lines up for this one... and hits the wall.
-
1'WE'RE OFF! Tottenham get us underway!
Start of match
-
PRVWThe teams are out! Here we go! Any score predictions?
-
PRVWAn interesting decision, or a tactical one? With Kane out for the rest of the season or thereabouts, Poch will want to make sure the rest of his players are raring to go to for the Champions League. Hence why we are seeing some slightly unfamiliar faces today.
-
PRVWHuddersfield aren't likely to pose a huge threat to Tottenham, but Pochettino has chosen three centre halves and two fullbacks. Interesting decision...
-
PRVWFans expected Son to be the natural replacement to the injured Harry Kane, but starts on the bench today. Alongside other big names such as Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose.
-
PRVWWhile Huddersfield have nothing substantial to play for, having already being confirmed as relegated, but they will certainly be aware that Tottenham are still fighting for a Champions League qualifying place.
-
PRVWHuddersfield starting line-up: Hamer; Hadergjonaj, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Hogg, Stankovic; Bacuna, Kachunga, Lowe; Grant.
-
PRVWMauricio Pochettino has made a whopping seven changes ahead of this clash! The only players to retain their place from the Manchester City game are Hugo Lloris, Vertonghen and Eriksen.
-
PRVWTottenham Hotspur starting XI: Lloris; Foyth, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Walker-Peters, Sissoko, Wanyama, Davies; Eriksen, Lucas Moura; Llorente.
