'They were heroes' - Pochettino praises Wycombe after FA Cup thriller

The League Two side came agonisingly close to shocking Premier League side Tottenham in the fourth round of the knockout competition

Mauricio Pochettino described Wycombe Wanderers' players as "heroes" after Tottenham fought back to edge a thrilling FA Cup fourth-round tie 4-3 at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

A much-changed Spurs side found themselves 2-0 down at half-time to a Paul Hayes brace before Son Heung-min and Vincent Janssen levelled matters midway through the second half.

Garry Thompson's header had Wycombe dreaming again with six minutes to go, but Dele Alli equalised before Son struck the decisive blow in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
