Rafael van der Vaart’s speculative long shot just before halftime sent Tottenham Hotspur into the FA Cup fifth round with a fortunate 1-0 win at Watford on Friday.
The Dutchman’s 25-yard strike eluded Watford keeper Scott Loach to ease the Premier League side’s nerves after the Championship (second division) side had dominated possession in the first half at Vicarage Road. Everton joined Spurs in the fifth round with a 2-1 win over Fulham.
