Tottenham Hotspur needed extra-time to beat Tamworth in the FA Cup and you can find the highlights below.
Tamworth, who were heavy underdogs on UK betting sites, welcomed a Premier League side in the FA Cup for the first time in the clubs’ history and the National League club put in a strong display at home.
Enrou Beck-Ray was a constant threat for the hosts, with the tricky winger skipping past Pedro Porro and forcing a good save from the Spurs goalkeeper.
Enrou, who is a sales assistant at Zara during the week, once again caused problems down the left-hand side and almost provided Tom McGlinchey with an assist.
Tottenham had their fair share of chances as James Maddison showed glimpses of Premier League quality and unleashed a curling effort that flew just over the bar.
Pape Matar Sarr came close to giving Spurs the lead but the 22-year-old’s strike was cleared off the line by a resolute Tamworth defence.
The scoreline was level after 45 minutes of football and questions were being asked of Ange Postecoglou given the huge disparity between both sides.
As the second-half got underway Spurs started to show their quality with the likes of Brennan Johsnon, Timo Werner and Maddison coming close.
The best chance of the half fell to Werner, as Brennan Johnson played a superb defence-splitting ball through to put the German in 1v1 situation but his effort was easily saved by Jas Singh.
Tamworth had the chance to find a historic winner in the final stages of the match, as McGlinchey found himself six yards out with the chance to shoot or pass – but the winger’s effort had little conviction.
The two sides could not be separated in the 90 minutes as non-league Tamworth took Premier League giants, Tottenham Hotspur to extra time.
Spurs finally broke the deadlock after 100 minutes of action, as Dominic Solanke’s effort forced Nathan Tshikuna to bundle the ball into his own net.
The visitors doubled their lead soon after, as Dejan Kulusevski came off the bench to smash the ball into the bottom right corner after a good pass from Heung-Min Son.
