Sport Football Tamworth vs Tottenham LIVE: FA Cup result and final score as Spurs survive major scare against non-league side Tamworth 0-3 Tottenham (after extra time): The non-league side were close to a major upset before the eight-time winners saved themselves from embarrassment
Tamworth goalkeeper reveals partner gave birth to son night before Tottenham FA Cup clash Non-league Tamworth took Tottenham to extra time in the FA Cup third round, before an unfortunate own goal and late strikes from Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson sent the Premier League side through.
Part-time Tamworth, who play in the fifth tier of English football, produced a remarkable performance to frustrate their opponents at The Lamb. They even had chances to win the tie late on, as Thomas McGlinchey saw a shot blocked by Yves Bissouma from inside the box.
It was Tottenham who had dominated the contest, though, and Ange Postecoglou was forced to send on star internationals Son Heung-min and Kuluseveki after his starting line-up was unable to find the opening goal in normal time.
And in the 100th minute, Tamworth switched off at a free-kick and were punished when a loose ball deflected into the net off Nathan Tshikuna. Moments later, Kulusevski fired low into the corner before Johnson added another to spare Tottenham’s blushes and deny Tamworth a historic upset.

Tamworth vs Tottenham LIVE Show latest update 1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 30 mins: SAVE! Touch of class again from Maddison as he pulls off a nut-meg on Milnes and looks to bend a shot inside the post. Singh gets across and makes the diving stop.
That’s the first effort on target that we’ve seen but the part-time Singh was equal to the England international.

1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 27 mins: Tonks sends it long from about 40 yards out and reaches the box, but Tottenham clear. Onoru is back on for Tamworth.

1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 24 mins: The Tamworth goalkeeper, Jasbir Singh, remains untroubled so far, but Spurs have controlled the possession so far at the Lamb Ground.
The home fans roar as the ball hits off Werner’s head and gives Tonks the chance to wind up his long throw.
But there’s a potential blow for the non-league side as the bright Beck-Ray Besongbap Enoru feels his hamstring. Hopefully he is able to continue.

1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 21 mins: Well, Tamworth have reached the halfway point of the first half and are right in this game. Timo Werner brings a long ball down but overhits his pass to Johnson. He hasn’t taken his chance yet.
Jamie Braidwood 12 January 2025 12:59
1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 17 mins: OOFF! Tamworth break forward and the ball falls to Thomas McGlinchey on the edge. It’s a super hit from the winger, cutting across the ball, but Gray manages to get behind it and clears. That was travelling, though.
From the corner, Kinsky comes and makes the catch.
Jamie Braidwood 12 January 2025 12:55
1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 15 mins: Close! Maddison finds space on the edge of the box and whips a left-footed shot just over the bar. Maddison certainly looks a class above so far and Tamworth can’t get near him.
But the hosts have shown they have weapons, with Enoru starting well and Tonks a problem.

1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 13mins; Here’s the next Tom Tonks torpedo... and it causes mayhem, hitting the post! Kinsky flaps at it at his back post, and it strikes the upright!
There’s a foul in there, somewhere, but that’s another warning for Tottenham.
Jamie Braidwood 12 January 2025 12:50
1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 11 mins: Tottenham captain James Maddison is left floored by opposite skipper Ben Mills - who crunches into the high ball. Just letting him know he’s there.

1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 8 mins: Decent exchange between Moore and Maddison, leading to a chance for the Spurs skipper to strike at goal. It’s deflected wide, but Tottenham regain possession after the corner. It’s all Spurs at the moment.

1 month ago Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham 5 mins: Tottenham settle the ball down with a bit of possession. The visitors are dealing with the pitch ok so far. On the wing, Johnson flashes the cross over the bar.
The Tamworth fans are making themselves heard and not all of it is suitable pre-watershed.
