Tamworth 0-0 Tottenham
40 mins: Tamworth are five minutes or so from getting into half-time at 0-0. Plenty of possession from Spurs, but all in front of the non-league side.
A chance! Dragusin’s back-pass plays Kinsky into trouble and the goalkeeper has to hack away with Creaney chasing. Kinsky comes out to claim the Tonks throw.

38 mins: CHANCE! More danger from Maddison, who steps inside the challenge and looks to whip a finish into the corner. Maddison doesn’t get enough on it, though, as Singh hangs on.

33 mins: Porro gives Enoru a shove on the byline but Tamworth win a throw. This time they take it short, which catches Tottenham by surprise. Enoru wins a corner this time as Porro blocks his cross!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
