Tottenham break Tamworth hearts in extra time after nervy FA Cup tie
Tottenham are in FA Cup fourth-round draw but only after being taken into extra time after a monumental effort by Tamworth at the Lamb Ground. The hosts finally saw their resistance broken after 100 minutes via a scrappy own goal, the ball coming off the knee of Nathan Tshikuna amid a bundle of bodies in the Tamworth box.
The late blow was compounded in the second half of extra time when Son Heung-min fed Dejan Kulusevski, whose clinical finish doubled Spurs’ lead. Brennan Johnson’s strike finished things off shortly after, the final scoreline not doing justice to the hosts’ efforts.
