Tottenham stars commented after reaching the FA Cup quarter-final.

Kyle Walker-Peters of Tottenham scores his team's sixth goal during The Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round Replay match between Tottenham Hotspur and Rochdale on February 28, 2018 in London,...

Tottenham Hotspur beat Rochdale 6-1 to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Fernando Llorente scored a surprise hat-trick, Heung-Min Son added a brace, and substitute Kyle Walker-Peters scored his first ever goal for the club in the closing stages.

Walker-Peters was thrilled to get on the scoresheet, netting from close range, and he posted an emotional message on Twitter after the victory, describing what it means to him to score.

He was not the only Tottenham player to take to social media after the big win.

Belgian defender Toby Alderweireld was sat on the sidelines due to injury, and he was delighted to see the team progress, giving him a chance to contribute to their success in later rounds.

Full-back Kieran Trippier made a point of thanking the fans for coming out to watch in the freezing conditions, and congratulated teammates Llorente and Walker-Peters.

Tottenham take on Swansea City in the next round at the Liberty Stadium, and if they win that then two ‘home’ ties at Wembley stand between them and FA Cup victory.
