Tottenham produced a rampant performance to comprehensively demolish Fiorentina 3-0 in the second leg of their round-of-32 Europa League tie on Thursday.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men held a 1-1 result from the first leg in Florence and simply needed a draw to ensure progress to the next stage of the tournament.
The Argentine opted to rest some of his bigger names at White Hart Lane but that did not stop the side from taking the initiative and finding their opener in the 25th minute through Ryan Mason.
Tottenham controlled proceedings from there and duly added a second through Erik Lamela who turned home an instinctive finish.
Gonzalo Rodriguez’s own-goal nine minutes from full-time then ensured an emphatic 4-1 aggregate scoreline for the hosts, who march into the last-16 in convincing fashion.
