Ho calls for tighter defence as FA Cup challenge gathers pace

Tottenham manager Martin Ho says he does not want to "keep scoring more and more" every week as that will mean his defence is not doing its job. Spurs were scintillating going forward in their 7-3 victory at Aston Villa on Sunday but Ho criticised the nature of the goals they allowed. "I don't want to concede three goals, we shouldn't be conceding three goals," he said on Thursday, before the FA Cup fifth-round tie against London City Lionesses on Monday (19:30 GMT).
