Steven Bergwijn opened the scoring on 29 minutes, slotting home from close range.

Tottenham quickly surged back in front, Moura tucking in after a fine dribble from Bergwijn.

Both sides played out a thrilling, intense encounter.

In the end, Spurs held on for victory and progressed to the last four.

And Sanchez played a key role, making big sliding tackles and interceptions in both halves of the game.

Indeed, the 25-year-old had more to do than his colleagues as he covered the space behind Matt Doherty.

Sanchez’s stats from the game () make for decent reading.

The £65,000-a-week ace had 67 touches of the ball and made 57 passes with 93 percent accuracy.

Sanchez also made one tackle, two blocked shots and three clearances.

In addition, he weighed in with four long balls.
