Tottenham Hotspur eased into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a routine 4-1 win over Colchester United, though the game was overshadowed by a horrific injury suffered by one of the home side’s defenders.

Alex Wynter went down in the first few minutes of the game after clashing heads with team-mate Tom Eastham.

The former Crystal Palace youth product was stretchered off the field and taken to hospital to be treated for concussion. Wynter was reportedly conscious, sat up and talking after being treated at Colchester General Hospital.

After a short delay, play got back underway and Mauricio Pochettino’s men soon went ahead through Nacer Chadli, who curled in a fine shot from 20 yards.

Eric Dier doubled the lead after the break with a deflected effort before Chadli grabbed his second to extend Tottenham’s lead.

Colchester’s supporters were given brief hope by a Marvin Sordell strike but the Premier League title contenders’ progression was put beyond doubt by Tom Carroll, who restored their three-goal lead a minute later.
