Tottenham displayed a rampant performance as they swept aside Fiorentina 3-0 in the second league of the last-32 tie to advance in the Europa League at White Hart Lane.

The host found their opener when midfielder Ryan Mason thumped a goal in the 25th minute of the match, goal.com reported.

Erik Lamela added a second goal to his side's account in the 63rd minute before Fiorentina's defender Gonzalo Rodriguez struck a goal in his own net nine minutes from full-time to pile further misery on his side.

Tottenham, which settled with a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Florence, required just a draw to ensure progress to the last-16 of the tournament.

 

But the hosts completed the last-32 tie with an emphatic 4-1 aggregate scoreline against Fiorentina.
