Harry Kane has saved Tottenham again.
The Spurs striker scored late in the FA Cup fourth-round tie away to Newport County to rescue a 1-1 draw.
The League Two side had led for most of the match. After 38 minutes, Padraig Amond scored the game’s opener, when the Irish striker nodded home at the back post.
Who saw that coming!?

However, a lot of the focus during the game was on the performance of Moussa Sissoko.
The general feeling was that the Spurs midfielder didn’t look out of place against the League Two side, which definitely isn’t a compliment.
Continually amazed at Moussa Sissoko’s ability to look out of his depth regardless of the quality of the opposition. Incredible consistency from the Frenchman.

Llorente wouldn’t get into my local team. Sissoko is not a footballer. Foyth should still be playing kids u16s football.
Our only realistic chance of winning a cup this year and we are losing to a 4th division side.
Without Kane we would be mid table. Pathetic and no excuses
