Harry Winks admits Tottenham were 'SLOPPY' in FA Cup win against League One Morecambe after Spurs had to come from behind to avoid embarrassing upset, adding that the performance 'was NOT good enough'

Harry Winks insists there was no reason to cheer Tottenham's late FA Cup win over Morecambe and said they were 'not good enough'.

The League One side - 59 places below Spurs in the football pyramid - were 16 minutes away from one of the biggest upsets in recent memory as Anthony O'Connor's goal put them in front.

Spurs had to send on the big guns and goals from Winks, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane rescued the Premier League side in a 3-1 victory.

It was another afternoon where Spurs' second string showed their limitations - a regular occurrence in the Europa League and Europa Conference League over the last two seasons - and Winks knows the display was sub-standard.
