Tottenham Hotspur waltzed past Millwall during Sunday's 2017 FA Cup action, winning their quarter-final tie 6-0.

Heung-Min Son bagged a hat-trick, while Vincent Janssen scored his first goal from open play for the hosts. Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen also got on the scoresheet.

Manchester City and Arsenal booked their semi-final spots on Saturday, while Chelsea and Manchester United will do battle on Monday. Here's a look at the results so far and the remaining schedule:



Recap

Spurs enjoyed a simple outing on Sunday afternoon, although the hosts didn't have it all their way. Star forward Harry Kane limped off the pitch just a few minutes into the contest, and his fitness will be key to the team's success moving forward.

But outside of that, the home fans had plenty of reasons to cheer. Eriksen started things off with a goal after 31 minutes, and per WhoScored.com, it once again highlighted his great form:



The tie turned into the Son show even before half-time, as the Korean doubled the lead with a stunning goal, blasting a shot into the top corner.

Per the Daily Mail's Sam Cunningham, it was exactly what he needed to shut the visiting fans up, as sections of the Millwall faithful were not on their best behaviour:

The match exploded after the break, as Son bagged a second goal soon after the restart. Alli and Janssen scored in quick succession as the clock ticked down.

Millwall had given up hope at that point and dug in their heels, hoping to avoid conceding more goals. Son hunted for his hat-trick and found it in added time thanks to a blunder from goalkeeper Thomas King.

Millwall manager Neil Harris admitted Spurs were simply a class apart on Sunday:

The result means the FA Cup could still see two of the Premier League's best derbies in the semi-finals, as Manchester United will have the chance to join the Citizens in the draw with a win over Chelsea on Monday.

The Blues are the clear favourites to win the Premier League title, while United have already wrapped up the EFL Cup.

Spurs' win means there are no clubs outside of the Premier League's top six left in the competition, so in all likelihood, the league's seventh-placed finisher will grab a European ticket. Everton, two points behind United in sixth, sport a healthy lead over West Bromwich Albion in the standings.
