Non-league Tamworth produced a heroic display to take Tottenham to extra time before the Premier League club limped into the FA Cup fourth round with a 3-0 win. Andy Peaks’ National League outfit pushed Spurs all the way at a buoyant Lambs Ground, before Nathan Tshikuna’s own goal finally put the visitors ahead after 101 minutes.
Tamworth had threatened to win the tie in second-half stoppage time before Ange Postecoglou watched two of his substitutes help them progress. Dominic Solanke’s effort – via Tshikuna’s final touch – broke the deadlock, before Dejan Kulusevski clinched the hard-fought victory with a second, six minutes later. Brennan Johnson added unjust gloss to the score with a third late on, but it failed to sour a memorable occasion for the hosts, who received a standing ovation after extra time.
