Sheffield Utd 1-0 Tottenham: No regrets over benching Harry Kane in FA Cup defeat - Cristian Stellini

Tottenham assistant coach Cristian Stellini says there are no regrets about starting Harry Kane on the bench in Wednesday's surprise FA Cup fifth-round defeat by Championship side Sheffield United.

Spurs made six changes for the game at Bramall Lane, with Son Heung-min, Richarlison and Lucas Moura in attack as Kane - the club's all-time top scorer - was named among the substitutes.

The Premier League side went into the fixture on the back of a 2-0 win against Chelsea that strengthened their top-four hopes, but produced a lethargic display before Iliman Ndiaye produced a moment of magic for the Blades with a clinical near-post finish to secure the 1-0 win late on.
