Tottenham have clearly got the taste for this silverware lark. In times gone by, the prospect of a gutsy League One up-and-comers like Doncaster Rover coming to town for an early-season cup clash would have given off all the vibes of a Spurs banana skin.
Not these days. Not against the Europa League winners, for heaven’s sake. And certainly not against this now steady and serious Tottenham side under Thomas Frank. He’s made no secret that there’s a hunger for more trophies and he made sure his side got the job done.
