Tottenham 3-0 Tamworth (Jan 12, 2025) Game Analysis

Premier League Tottenham Hotspur needed extra time to beat fifth-tier Tamworth, 96 places below them in the English football pyramid, 3-0 in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.

The game had the makings of a huge upset from the opening whistle as Tamworth more than held their own but the team of part-time players tired in extra time and were unable to secure one of the biggest shocks in the competition’s history.

After a goalless 90 minutes, Nathan Tshikuna’s own goal in the 101st minute at the Lamb Ground put Spurs ahead after Brennan Johnson had fired a low cross into the area.

Substitute Dejan Kulusevski doubled the lead when he latched onto a pass from Son Heung-Min to shoot across goalkeeper Jas Singh and Johnson added a late third.
