Jermain Defoe revealed a half-time jibe from former Toon striker Les Ferdinand spurred him on to a hat-trick in a 3-1 win at Elland Road.

Jermain Defoe: "Les (Ferdinand) did say to me at half-time, 'if you don't get a hat-trick today then you're NEVER gonna get it'.

"That spurred me on a bit.

"He realised watching the game there'd be chances, especially second half."

Defoe claimed his third hat-trick of the season to sent Tottenham into the fifth round of the FA Cup.
