Tottenham Hotspur narrowly avoided a major upset in the FA Cup third round, needing extra time to defeat non-league Tamworth 3-0. Despite being 96 places above Tamworth in the football pyramid, Spurs struggled throughout the match, with Tamworth missing several key chances to cause a historic shock.
TOTTENHAM NARROWLY avoided FA Cup embarrassment against non-league Tamworth as they needed extra time before securing a 3-0 win in the third round on Sunday.
Tamworth should have caused one of the FA Cup’s greatest upsets in normal time but their missed chances proved crucial. Having beaten Liverpool 1-0 in the League Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday, Tottenham remain in contention for a domestic cup double. Yet they matched their highly-paid and supposedly superior opponents for long periods of a classic FA Cup tie at the Lamb Ground.
The ramshackle vibe was summed up when kick-off was delayed by a hole in one of the goal nets, with Tamworth’s Beck-Ray Enoru fixing the problem by climbing on the shoulders of his team-mate. Jordan Cullinane-Liburd headed just wide before Tom McGlinchey’s shot was blocked and Cullinane-Liburd was denied by Kinsky.
