Tottenham sealed their place in the Carabao Cup third round with a comfortable 5-1 win at home to Charlton.
Tottenham were made to wait but took a comfortable 2-0 lead into the break after two goals in three minutes from Mike Moore and Dominic Solanke on the stroke of half-time.
Kevin Danso headed home in the 67th minute with his first touch off the bench from Mateus Fernandes’ free-kick before new £85million man Savio scored one and saw another shot deflect in off Ben Davies to put Spurs 5-0 up.
Lloyd Jones pulled a goal back in the 87th minute to give the visitors something to cheer before the full-time whistle.
Sam Tabuteau was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to rate the Spurs players…
Antonin Kinsky 6: Produced two strong saves, one in each half, but will be disappointed to have not kept a clean sheet as Jones headed home late on.
Archie Gray 6: Showed plenty of endeavour to get up in support of Moore but lacked quality with his final ball. Looked a little cautious when faced up one-on-one with Millenic Alli, but ultimately Charlton rarely got the ball in the right areas to threaten, especially after Spurs took the lead.
Ben Davies 7: Solid and assured, he was given little trouble by Charlton. Scored rather innocuously as Savio’s shot deflected off the Wales international and into the back of the net.
Jan Paul van Hecke 7: The tempo setter at the back. He misplaced just six of his 96 passes, with no player producing more passes into the final-third than the Dutchman. Replaced midway through the second-half.
Destiny Udogie 6: Valuable minutes and a first start of the season for Udogie as he works his way back to full fitness. Put himself amongst it and increasingly showcased his attacking capabilities
Rodrigo Bentancur 6: Grew into the game. Some rash moments early on, but began to dominate as Spurs took control of possession. Strong but fair in the tackle and confident receiving under pressure.
