Tottenham Advances Past Tamworth in FA Cup

Tottenham Hotspur narrowly defeated non-league Tamworth 3-0 in the FA Cup, with the match stretching into extra time after a tense scoreless first 90 minutes.

The breakthrough came in the 101st minute through an own goal from Nathan Tshikuna, followed by goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson. Despite the loss, Tamworth's manager Andy Peaks expressed immense pride in his team's effort against a much stronger opponent, highlighting their determination and respect for the game.

Spurs are set to face Aston Villa in the next round, and Postecoglou acknowledged the challenges posed by Tamworth, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of the FA Cup.
