Spurs 1-0 Barnsley - Mauricio's reaction

Barnsley were well-organised and tough to break down in the third round tie at Wembley, even though we ended with 25 efforts at goal. Many shots were blocked by the red wall protecting Adam Davies’ goal as the Tykes defended stoutly.

The visitors’ big chance arrived a matter of seconds into the second half when Ike Ugbo flicked the ball over Jan Vertonghen and pulled the trigger from about 10 yards. Vorm was ready though and palmed away in what was his only serious action of the night.

Twenty minutes later and we found the winner as Kieran Trippier broke into the box from the right and squared for Dele to bury his third goal of the season in all competitions.
