Tottenham striker Llorente pleased with FA Cup hat-trick

Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente was delighted with his hat-trick for their FA Cup win at Tranmere Rovers.

It was his second hat-trick in the FA Cup having bagged his first for Spurs in the replay win against Rochdale last season.

Llorente said, “Yes, I love the FA Cup, I love every chance I have (to play). I try to play well, to do my best and this is the way.

“It was a good performance. It wasn't easy at the beginning. I'm very happy for the hat-trick because that always gives confidence to me and now I'll keep going and fighting for every minute and every chance the gaffer gives me."

His goals came via assists from Heung-Min Son, Oliver Skipp and Lucas Moura.

“Yes, it's amazing to play with these team-mates," he added. “They make it easier for me, they give me very good passes and always it's a pleasure to play with these amazing players."
