Tottenham Survive Huge Morecambe Scare To Advance In FA Cup

By Daily Sports on January 9, 2022

Tottenham summoned the cavalry to secure a place in the FA Cup fourth round, coming from a goal down to beat Morecambe.

Shrimps defender Antony O'Connor sidefooted a volley in from 10 yards to score the game's opening goal after 33 minutes, prompting wild celebrations among the travelling supporters.

But their hopes of a famous victory faded as goals from Harry Winks and substitutes Lucas Moura and Harry Kane gave Tottenham victory.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte make a host of changes, naming Kane and Moura on the bench and having to do without the injured Son Heung-min, but still picked a side featuring the likes of Dele Alli, Tanguy Ndombele, Winks and Giovani lo Celso.

For Morecambe, a team fighting relegation and who have won only once in their past seven matches in League One, It was almost a historic occasion to match fellow third-tier side Cambridge's heroics at Newcastle on Saturday.

There were chants of "Premier League, you're having a laugh" from the away end, as the Morecambe fans made the most of their afternoon.

The Shrimps, without manager Stephen Robinson, who missed the game after a positive Covid test, were 16 minutes away from the fourth round before Winks' free kick cross went all the way into equalise.

Goals from Moura and Kane saved Spurs' blushes inside the last 10 minutes, but the visiting fans could be heard singing loudly until the end. (BBC)
