Three second half goals were enough for Tottenham to book their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup after beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 in their fifth round Cup replay.
The game exploded into life in the second half, after a less than impressive opening 45 minutes and goals from Noe Pamarot, Irish international Robbie Keane and substitute Mido were enough for Spurs.
The visitors started well and Keane could have them ahead in the 28th minute but goalkeeper Paul Gerrard got down low to get a hand to the striker's goalbound shot after Frederic Kanoute had chested Reto Ziegler's cross into the Irish striker's path.
Forest had their chances too and on the stroke of half-time Paul Evans, following John Curtis's cross, saw his shot well-parried by Spurs's England keeper Paul Robinson.
Spurs piled on the pressure early in the second period with Kanoute's charged down free-kick sparking a goalmouth scramble and while Forest managed to clear the ball from danger, they were soon behind.
With 60 minutes on the clock French centre-back Pamarot beat Gerrard to Ziegler's inswinging corner and his glancing header flew into the net.
Tottenham doubled their lead 12 minutes later when a Ziegler corner was flicked on by Michael Brown and turned in by Keane on the goal-line to all but end the game as a contest.
There was still time for the Londoners to grab a third when Mido was on hand to nod the ball in after Brown's powerful shot came back off the crossbar.
