Erik Lamela scored his first goal in 17 months as Tottenham sauntered past Newport and into the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Tottenham will face League One strugglers Rochdale for a place in the quarter-finals as Mauricio Pochettino's men edged one step closer to ending the club's 10-year wait for a trophy.
