Rochdale force Spurs to draw

By Daily Sports on February 19, 2018

Rochdale's Steve Davies fired home a stoppage time equaliser to earn the third-tier strugglers a deserved 2-2 draw in a cracking FA Cup fifth round tie against Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

It looked as though substitute Harry Kane's late penalty had put Tottenham into the quarterfinals but Davies, also on from the bench, pounced in the 92nd minute to spark joyous scenes at Spotland.

"To get a draw at the end of the day against a Premier League club – you can hear what it means to the fans, board and staff," Henderson said as the fans chanted 'Dale are going to Wembley...' in anticipation of the replay at Tottenham's temporary home.

"We can't wait to go to Wembley. We always felt we had an opportunity, Stevo (Steven Davies) is an unbelievable finisher and we deserved that today.

"I've always dreamed of playing at Wembley and now I can say I've played there – if I'm fit and picked!"

Rochdale, bottom of League One, had their barren pitch re-surfaced for the arrival of the north London club who are bidding to win the FA Cup for the first time since 1991.

And Keith Hill's men made a mockery of the 63 places separating the sides as they used the lush green surface to great effect to match a Spurs line up much changed from the one that drew 2-2 with Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday. © Reuters
