Spurs beat Swansea to get ‘home’ FA Cup semifinal at Wembley
SWANSEA, Wales — Tottenham secured a place in the FA Cup semifinals at its temporary Wembley Stadium home by beating Swansea 3-0 on Saturday, with Christian Eriksen scoring two of the three long-range goals.
Erik Lamela also struck from outside the area in the quarter-final at Liberty Stadium as Tottenham stayed in contention for a first trophy in 10 years.
Wembley is the designated neutral ground for the FA Cup semifinals — and final — but Tottenham is well accustomed to it after taking up temporary residence at the national stadium this season while its home at White Hart Lane is being redeveloped.
Manchester United hosts Brighton later Saturday. In the other quarterfinal matches on Sunday, Chelsea visits Leicester and third-tier Wigan is at home to Southampton.
