Match Report
Harry Kane sent Tottenham into the FA Cup fourth round with his 265th goal for the club enough to see off League One Portsmouth.
Kane moved one behind Spurs' all-time top scorer Jimmy Greaves after bending a wonderful effort into the corner from the edge of the box at the start of the second half.
Tottenham struggled throughout to break down the managerless visitors, who had sacked boss Danny Cowley on Monday following nine winless league games, with a much-changed team from their 4-0 victory at Crystal Palace.
Both Kane and Son Heung-Min kept their places though as Spurs laboured to victory, capping a positive week for Antonio Conte ahead of the north London derby with Arsenal next Sunday.
What's next?
Tottenham's next game is a huge north London derby at home to Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday January 15 - kick-off 4.30pm.
Antonio Conte's side then face another crucial league game on Thursday January 19, when they travel to Manchester City - kick-off 8pm.
Portsmouth's next outing is at Bolton in the Papa Johns Trophy quarter-finals on Tuesday - kick-off 7.45pm.
Pompey then face Bolton away again on Saturday, this time in League One - kick-off 3pm.
