Tottenham sailed in the fourth round of the EFL Cup while Thomas Frank’s team beat Doncaster Rovers 3-0 during a night which also saw the holders of Newcastle United Progress with style and wins for Arsenal and Manchester City.
Spurs can impatiently wait for equality to the fourth round with Newcastle in St James’ Park, after the draw opposed them to the side of Eddie Howe in attractive equality.

Jay McGrath transformed the Wilson Odobert cross into his own net three minutes later to double the Tottenham’s advance and leave Doncaster with a mountain to climb.
The Spurs were frustrated in their efforts to make the scoring more emphatic, but, after Lucas Bergvall had a prohibited goal for the offside, Brennan Johnson added the final touch with the final kick of the match, the victory keeping Tottenham’s hopes alive to get better than last season’s racing in the semi-finals.
Newcastle United 4-1 Bradford City
Newcastle had a hard time goals in the Premier League, but the competition in which they ended their 70 years of waiting for a major domestic trophy last season provided a lot of tonic when they put the leaders of Ligue 1 to the sword.
JELINTON slipped into the lower right corner at the 17th minute to open the scoring. Two minutes later, Osula put the Magpies at the helm when he hung on to Bruno Guimarães through the ball and fired beyond the impressive Stuart Walker.
Newcastle achieved 27 shots on goal, but it was not until the 75th minute that Jelinton did 3-0 when he repeated the exploit of the first half in slotting coldly beyond Walker.
However, there was soon a moment to savor for visitors and the Newcastle fan, Andy Cook, who shot a long -range long -range strike in the crossbar after the interception of the poor authorization of Lewis Miley.
The normal service resumed by Osula, however, the Danish doubling his count in the 87th minute by returning home of the Cross Bas de Harvey Barnes at the most distant post.
