  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Spurs' third-round FA Cup tie against the National League side was delayed due to an issue with Tamworth's goal net. Beck-Ray Enoru was hoisted onto team-mate Jordan Thomas Cullinane-Liburd's shoulders to apply some tape and close up the gap in the net. After a few smiles and laughs were shared, the game got underway at 12.36pm on Sunday.
