Sheffield Utd No2 Morgan fires Cup warning at Spurs

Sheffield United No2 Chris Morgan fired a warning to Tottenham after their FA Cup win at QPR.

The third-tier side will face Spurs in the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup having already knocked Southampton and West Ham out of the competition.

And their FA Cup third-round victory against Rangers rekindled the spirit of last season, when United beat top-flight sides Fulham and Aston Villa on the way to the semi-finals.

First-team coach Morgan, speaking to the media instead of manager Nigel Clough, said: "Everybody in the semi-final draw would have wanted to play us.

"The Premier League clubs would want to avoid each other, it's just the nature of the beast.

"But I don't think people will take us lightly, because of the results we've had. In the last calendar year we've beaten five Premier League clubs.

"The semi-final will be different in that it's over two legs. But with the atmosphere and the type of performance we can get at home, we know if we're still in the tie when we get back to Bramall Lane then there will be a game on.

"We had a great run last year, getting to the semi-final, and this year we've backed that up with some really good performances."
