Tottenham boss Postecoglou: Porro deserved FA Cup moment

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says Pedro Porro deserved his moment as matchwinner in the FA Cup win against Burnley.

Porro's wonder goal saw Spurs through to a 1-0 win in the Third Round tie.

Postecoglou said: "I think it's a cup competition so whatever I say or whatever my analysis is, the bottom line is we're though to the next round so that's what you've got to take out of it because I think the cup games are a unique beast and we're through to the next round so that's the main thing.

"We were a little bit wasteful in the final third because we had most of the ball, most of the territory. As I said you analyse those things and give feedback to the players and it's better to do that when you're in the next round of the cup."

On Porro's goal, he added: "We're disappointed he hasn't had a few more this season, he's been a bit unlucky, hit the post a couple of times and he's been outstanding all year, working on his defensive game but we know as an attacking threat he's also got those qualities and the way the game was going we were going to need something special from someone and he delivered."
