FA Cup: Wycombe 1-4 Tottenham - Spurs survive early scare to reach next round

Tottenham edged past Championship strugglers Wycombe to reach the FA Cup round of 16, but were made to work for it as strikes from Gareth Bale, Harry Winks and Tanguy Ndombele overturned an opener from Fred Onyedinma.

The Championship side found themselves into a shock lead when striker Uche Ikpeazu powered past Toby Alderweireld and found Onyedinma in the area, who forced the ball beyond Joe Hart from 12 yards.

Spurs didn't panic though and responded by peppering the Wycombe goal. Moussa Sissoko and Japhet Tanganga hit the woodwork, before Bale - who had spurned two good chances earlier in the game - lifted Lucas Moura's cross beyond Ryan Allsop in the Chairboys' goal.

Wycombe played with a high tempo in the first half but struggled to sustain that as the game wore on. They defended admirably, though, and looked for all the world as if they would at least be heading to extra-time, before Harry Winks' strike from the edge of the area broke the Championship side's hearts.

Substitute Tanguy Ndombele then netted twice with what little time was remaining to make it absolutely sure it was the Premier League team going into the hat for the round of 16. 90min
