Tottenham top brass furious with FA Cup elimination

Tottenham's top brass are furious after their FA Cup defeat at Sheffield United.

Spurs' 15-year trophy drought looks set to continue after their 1-0 loss to the Blades in the fifth round of the competition - which was their last realistic chance of winning silverware.

The team are still in the Champions League, but lost their first leg of their last-16 clash to AC Milan and lifting that trophy seems increasingly unlikely.

The club's board are furious, says The Sun, that the team and staff did not make more of an effort to win a cup - with the likes of Harry Kane benched for the game while out-of-favour Lucas Moura started in attack.

The way the team approached the game is claimed to be the biggest sticking point with chiefs, the report says, with the Premier League side rarely threatening the Championship outfit before Iliman Ndiaye's winner in the 79th minute.
