They'll never forget it
FULL TIME: Marine 0-5 Spurs. ATTENDANCE: 30,697 (virtual tickets). Absolutely fantastic support. Thank you, football world and @SpursOfficial. We will never forget it. #COYM — Marine Football Club (@MarineAFC) January 10, 2021
Full-time
So that's it. Marine's magical day dancing with the stars is over. They did themselves very proud but it's back to their normal jobs from now on.
Spurs ruthless and professional. You get the feeling they probably could've scored double figures if they wanted to. A great moment for Devine aswell.
Into the fourth round for Mourinho!
91'- Vinicius should've scored
Brilliant by Bale to set the energetic Devine away down the right. He pulls it back to Vinicius but he skews his shot. Should've been six.
87'- Vinicius MOTM
A deserved man of the match for Carlos Vinicius.
The game is just waiting to be ended now. It's been great fun though.
The magic of the cup
54' - Vinicius strikes over the bar. Gareth Bale is warming up here. Gareth Bale is warming up. At Marine. Gareth Bale. 0-4. #COYM — Marine Football Club (@MarineAFC) January 10, 2021
75'- Non-affair
The game is in a state of nothing. Spurs happy to keep the ball, and that's fine for Marine who will be fairly happy with the score only 5-0.
69'- Bale free-kick
Passant, in his next shift at Sainsbury's, can say he saved a Gareth Bale free-kick.
Although, he did make hard work of it. But forget that.
And then he scored!
A piece of history for #THFC in Crosby.
Alfie Devine becomes the club's youngest EVER player at 16 years and 163 days. 👏

64'- Bale in Marine!
Gareth Bale comes on! The excellent Dele comes off for him.
Oh yeah, and Jack Clarke comes on for Lucas.
60' - DEVINE! 5-0
What a moment for the 16-year-old!!!
On his debut, he finds some space and buries it well into the bottom left.
Everyone gives him a hug and his smile is infectious. The FA Cup always finds a way.
58'- Lucas chance
Davies fizzes the ball across but Lucas can't quite guide it home.
Marine doing a very good damage limitation job. Can take a lot of pride from this!
51' - Deja Vu
Spurs have started slow again. Marine have had two shots on target, albeit none of them testing Joe Hart.
45'- Second-half!
Marine start the game off again.
Two changes
Alfie Devine, 16-years-old, and Tanaganga are coming on for Sissoko and Alderweirld.
Makes sense, and a great moment for Devine as well.
Proving a point
Dele Alli created more chances than any other player in the first half against Marine (4).

The difference
There's the difference between elite and semi-pro. The quality of the delivery, the timing and execution of movement, the quick thinking and subtle actions. Four really well taken goals in their own way. Marine held their own, plenty of cause for pride, but it's no contest. — The Tactical Times (@Tactical_Times) January 10, 2021
Half-time!
Marine battled hard in the first 20 minutes and even hit the crossbar in but then Spurs turned it on.
Vinicius has a first-half hattrick and fellow Brazillian Lucas whipped in a beautiful free-kick.
Dele has impressed, as has debutant Harvey White.
43'- What could've been
20' - CROSSBAR!!!! Kengni drives forward and hits the bar, and Marine win a corner out of it! 0-0. #COYM — Marine Football Club (@MarineAFC) January 10, 2021
37'- Vinicius hat-trick! 4-0
Beautiful. The ball is loose in the box and the striker lets it bounce before elegantly looping it in the corner.
Spurs have turned it on here.
35'- Chance for Marine!
Rodon loses the ball, and Joyce finds a bit of space to shoot just inside the box.
But the Welsh defender recovers superbly. Fair play to Marine!
32' - 3-0! Beautiful from Lucas
Amazing free-kick from Lucas who finds the top left corner.
A shame for Marine but this is relentless from Tottenham after a slow start.
This could get ugly now.
30'- 2-0!
And it's 2-0. Dele at the heart again.
His beautiful ball finds Doherty in behind, but his shot is saved well but Vinicius smashes home for his brace.
23'- Spurs goal!
And there it is. Dele plays a great one-two with Gedson, then plays a brilliant ball across to Vinicius who skills past the keeper and smashes home.
Harsh on Marine!
19'- WOW!
So close! From 35-yard yards, Kengni's rocket smashes the crossbar!
Great strike and the best chance so far. Almost one of the greatest moments in FA Cup history!
15'- Good start for Marine
Marine will be happy. They look solid and haven't conceded a real clear cut chance yet.
14'- Marine free-kick
It came to nothing, but still.
9'- Lucas chance
Lucas dribbled through the heart of Marine but his shot flies into the stand.
It feels like a matter of when.
5'- Nothing yet
Spurs holding all the ball, obviously.
A Harvey White free-kick that hit the wall and a Dele Alli weak shot on target are all she wrote so far.
We're underway!
Dele gets us underway in Crosby.
Teams are out!
Kick-off is moments away!
This is going to be fun.
Ten minutes
Fans are gathering in their gardens, the floodlights are beaming on, and the two sides are about to come out.
This occasion has a magical feel about it. 10 minutes to go!
30 minutes to go!
30 minutes until kick-off!
In the meantime, here's another stat to remind you of the incredible difference between the two sides.
Today we’ve got the biggest mismatch in #FACup history as @MarineAFC host @SpursOfficial. To put it into perspective Marine’s £2000 weekly wage bill is what Son and Kane combined earned in the last hour. #marineafc #Spurs

No holding back
Jose goes strong, as promised, but no Kane in the squad. Full debut for White and the first appearance for Dele since Dec 23.
Bale on the bench with Son & Ndombele.

Old-school
Neil Young, Amy Winehouse, and the Rolling Stones. Not a bad retro playlist!
Here's the playlist for today's @EmiratesFACup game v @SpursOfficial! Can you spot a theme, by any chance? Some Neil Young in there too, a great tune from the gaffer... #COYM with https://t.co/3AVFU6xADJ pic.twitter.com/gcTBwyuk7v

Team news
Mourinho will have 19 first-teamers and one under-18 in his squad; he includes Jack Clarke and Harvey White as they train all the time with the seniors.
Gareth Bale could be involved after returning to training on Friday following a calf injury and Érik Lamela is also a possibility.
Mourinho will wait until Saturday for a final update on Lamela, who has missed the past two games with an unspecified issue.
The news, though, on Giovani Lo Celso’s hamstring was rather less positive.
Kevin Lynch's thoughts
"22 years ago I was on the local parks and now I'm up against Jose Mourinho.
“The first fear is that you get humiliated on live TV. And then you think, hang on, I have to give a bit of respect to my lads."
Mourinho's thoughts
"To show respect to them is to play with a good team, with a team with responsibility, with a team with motivation and to beat them."
Normal people living the dream
The starting XI that @MarineAFC name against Premier League @SpursOfficial will feature everyday heroes ✨
These are the professions of the second round side that created #EmiratesFACup history & secured the competition's biggest-ever mismatch. pic.twitter.com/vw1IHewNCu — Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) January 10, 2021
Buisness as usual
If you take the romance out of it, as Mourinho usually does - Tottenham will want to get in and get out without any injuries and a routine victory which leads them into the fourth round.
The magic of the cup
Marine, an eighth tier side, will today play host to Jose Mourinho's title-chasing Tottenham Hotspur.
161 places separate the two sides - the biggest mismatch in the FA Cup's long history.
No matter the result, it will be a proud day for everyone associated with Marine.
Kick-off time
Kick-off at the Marine Travel Arena is fast approaching.
This special game will begin at 17:00, which is now roughly about two and a half hours away!
