There COMMENTATOR: Across goal. And Wasilewski equalisers! Of the post! | :00:56. | :01:25. | |
And it is paying off! Pressure. It looks as if there will be another | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
chapter. Tell you what, let's do it all | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
again! And Huth was holding back and he has | :01:33. | :01:59. | |
scored! Late, late, goal. Let's do it all again. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Leicester and Tottenham do it again for the third time in ten days this | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
time at the King Power Stadium and we must have a winner in this third | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
round replay of the FA Cup. The controversial penalty from Harry | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Kane in the first game earned Spurs a draw and a rematch tonight, 45 | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
goals in 12 FA Cup ties between the teams so we should get plenty of | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
action. The winners will face a trip to League 1 side Colchester. We are | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
delighted to welcome former Leicester manager Martin O'Neill | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
with Jermaine Jenas and Ian Wright. Martin, three games in ten days, | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
unusual. Is there a case of even the managers that you start to get used | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
to each other? I don't think so. I think the games are so important | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
now, with the position that Leicester find themselves in, in the | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
league, they are prioritising. They are thinking, hold on, that gap | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
between the fourth team and the 15 is getting wider and we are still | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
hanging in there. We are more than hanging in there, we are doing | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
fantastically. -- the fourth team and the 15. They think that the fans | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
will forgive them if they get knocked out of the Cup if they | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
finish in the top four. The last time Spurs came here in a cup tie | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
was pretty much tenuous to the day, not only did you play, I hate to | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
show you this, you scored! Yeah, we ended up losing that day so it did | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
not turn out to be a happy day at all. Both sides have made a lot of | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
changes, where do you stand on resting players in the FA Cup? | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
Leicester's priority is that they are flying in the league, doing | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
things no one expected. It is something they should go for, in | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
case it does not work out in the top four because the case for Leicester, | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
staying around the European places would be a magnificent season. I | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
have no problem with teams resting players, that is how it is these | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
days, how it's got to be. That said, Leicester have gone in with | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
practically the same side that played ten days ago, de Laet has | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
gone out, possibly injured, I would say that Drinkwater for Kante, it's | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
the same team. They will feel they can win with this team. Jermaine you | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
are not sure that changing has helped their fluency? They were | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
playing so well and as a player we know what it is like when you open | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
getting into that rhythm, playing in a team, things start to happen | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
without thinking about it and when you break it up and go and have a | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
rest, it can have an effect. For Leicester, in the home game, it | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
could have cost them. Let's hear from the Leicester manager, he's | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
made quite an impact on his return to England. Green man I love these | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
nicknames. Maybe I surprised the journalists. | :05:04. | :05:26. | |
Very, very cheap pizza! COMMENTATOR: He has done it, the free festival | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
goes on. Now a new story to write, I am like Christopher Columbus. The | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
story goes on. Claudio six months you been back in | :05:35. | :05:49. | |
England, how are you enjoying it at Leicester City? A lot. Top of the | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
league, I enjoy that a lot. You have managed some of the biggest clubs in | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Europe, how does that compare to managing a club the size of | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
Leicester City in comparison? Yeah but I manage also clubs like | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
Leicester, not only big teams. For me it is important to have a good | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
relationship with the owner, with the players, with the staff, with | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
everybody, because I believe that all together we can do something | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
special, something good. And intriguing situation, Tottenham for | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
the third time in ten days, you are unbeaten, that must give you hope? | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
No, because you know when you play against big teams like Tottenham, | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
you know they can invent something suddenly, and we have to stay very | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
attentive during all the match. Thank you, good luck. We need! | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
Always need luck and they seem to have quite a bit this season, it's a | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
remarkable story, Leicester, it has gone on for some time. They are | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
clearly punching above their weight. An element of fluke? I don't think | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
it is a fluke. I think it is a continuation from the back end of | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
last season. The manager, I have grown to like him, I've never met | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
him, but I like a great deal because he was asked the question for seven | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
consecutive weeks and he kept saying the same thing, once we get to 40 | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
points! Now he's gone past that he will have to think of something | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
else! A remarkable run. Everyone is thinking, when will it stop. And | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
that is as good as incentive as any to keep it going. They have brought | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
in, strengthened, in the transfer window, one of those players, demo | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
write great, made an impressive debut two days ago. A super young | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
player. They've found a good player. The way they are playing at the | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
moment, the perfect player, quick feet, brilliant, very confident, | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
speculative shot, not a great one, but wants to take people on. Coming | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
into a Leicester side that's doing so well, this is perfect for him, to | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
keep doing stuff. Great delivery. And here again, and this was | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
unlucky. He's got space in front of him, looking to take him on, you | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
know who come onto his good right foot, a good shot here, I think he's | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
perfect to come into this side, the way Leicester are going at the | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
moment for him to play the way he played at Birmingham. He's got a lot | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
to offer, she has hit the ground running. Lunch McVeigh are a bit | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
impatient comedies only had one game! Give him a chance! What about | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Drinkwater. Perhaps one of the unsung heroes in midfield. I know | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
that Leicester have made a lot of changes tonight but he has made 21 | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
appearances in the league for them this season. One of the foundations | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
of the team. Keeps it simple, very effective. Breaks at the play, gives | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
it to the top players. Let's get the views of the Spurs boss Mauricio | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Pochettino. This is your third meeting with Leicester City in just | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
ten days. Yet to win. Is that a concern going into this game? No, no | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
concern. I think always it is tough to play against the team that | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
competes with us, at a very good level, a strong squad that they | :09:19. | :09:28. | |
have, always is difficult, after Christmas, always playing another | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
game is difficult but you know, we have a strong squad, a lot of | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
players, and we need to make the most of this good opportunity today. | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
What have you learned from the last two games? Always we can learn, we | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
try to solve some problems that we have in the last two games against | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
them. They are in the same position than us. They learn a lot from us | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
too. Today is a good opportunity to try to win the game, because it is | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
the third in ten days, one draw, one loss, one defeat. To win the game | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
today is important. You started with Harry Kane on the bench, ideally | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
would you like to stay there at the end of the game because you had to | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
bring him off in the first game and he got that late, late penalty. Yes, | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
you know we have a strong squad, we need to share this... Our players | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
need some time to rest. We've played a lot from the beginning of the | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
season, the Premier League is very tough, and international | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
competition, I think it is important to remember in every big | :10:47. | :10:56. | |
international break, they play minimum two games, it is tough for | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
them, they not machines. We have a strong squad and it's a good | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
opportunity for the players who maybe don't play consistently in the | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
starting XI to show that I am wrong. Paige Mauricio we wish you well. | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
Thank you. One person that has stayed in the team is Eriksson. | :11:15. | :11:28. | |
Would you stand on him? He came in with a big reputation, he was | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
described as the new brand of Art, who has actually played at Tottenham | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
as well. Credibility. Fantastic ability. What is missing? | :11:38. | :11:48. | |
Consistency? He's only 23. We will probably point out others about 23, | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
I will give him the benefit of the doubt, I still think he's getting | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
used to the English game. An important aspect of Tottenham's | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
tactical side is the way the full-backs, they have been switched | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
around a little of late but the importance stays the same. It is a | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
huge feature of Spurs's play. The useful bags to create width. That | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
allows players like eRIKSEB, whoever is playing behind Harry Kane, to | :12:18. | :12:29. | |
override those areas. -- Eriksen. Dier counteract that, he drops to | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
centre-half to give security to the team. As the ball is moving, we | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
highlight him at the top, he can get into those areas, whether it is him | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
or Kyle Walker, that is way they play five in midfield against Spurs. | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
It works. How will it go? He will have two fancy Leicester City at | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
home. -- you'll have to fancy them out. At the same time, Spurs have | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
not got a bad side. I think it will be a stalemate and the 60th minute | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
and then we should Seagulls. A possibility. I think Leicester at | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
home can do it. Budget two FA Cup replays tonight, Liverpool host | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Exeter and we will bring you the action at half-time from that game. | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
Tonight at the King Power Stadium, it is Leicester versus Spurs. Over | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
to your commentators. Commentator thank you. Some truly gees are | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
wonderful, will Claudio Ranieri be the Godfather? Back to the future? | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
Spurs returning. And Star Wars, both of these teams could graze the final | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
itself, on form, this season. Some truly gees do not work. Shrek, all | :13:50. | :13:59. | |
the players wary of making an ogre of themselves. Many trilogies are | :14:00. | :14:08. | |
very tired by the end. This has been a demanding month, who will survive. | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
A late bloke for Leicester, they've lost Ritchie De Laet to a back | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
injury. Simpson, the original writeback, was not in the squad, | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
he's got a late call-up. They missed Walker in the first much, he | :14:25. | :14:35. | |
replaces Kante. Unlucky not to win, their 19-year-old sparkled in his | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
first Leicester start, Tamara Gray makes his first start your tonight. | :14:43. | :14:53. | |
-- Demarai Gray. Acknowledging that his men are not machines, ritzy | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
Pochettino has made four 's changes. Schmeichel Mauricio Pochettino. | :15:00. | :15:15. | |
Lamela is in, and Eriksen started the weekend with the win over | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
Sunderland. It's a strong Spurs midfield, should they play Kane, | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
should he have played? Should Jamie Vardy have played? These questions | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
will be answered in the next 90 minutes. Has he played his strongest | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
team? Should he played those star strikers? We would all have to see | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
them, but if he can keep them on the bench, there is so much talent on | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
the bench, I think we will see some coming off the bench before the end. | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
Tonight, Wasilewski scored an excellent goal at White Hart Lane, | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
looking to make his mark, excellent in that first game. He and Robert | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
Firth in the league game last week exposed that lack of authority. He | :16:09. | :16:22. | |
and Huth. Can they expose the opponents are today? They scored a | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
good goal from the corner, excellent goals scored in the game, of course, | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
Huth, he's someone you have to be aware of with the pace and power | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
they've got in this Leicester City side. Especially from set pieces. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
Looking forward to seeing Eric and I are playing his natural position at | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
centre-half, looking to impress Roy Hodgson before the European | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
tournament this summer. He has started 43 of the last 48 games, but | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
mainly in midfield. He is the third centre-back partner for Wimmer, | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
playing just his third game for Spurs since his summer move from | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
German football. Anthony tailor is the referee. Spurs are in white, and | :17:05. | :17:13. | |
they will kick this off. Picking from right to left in this first | :17:14. | :17:14. | |
half. Who starts as favourites for you? | :17:15. | :17:24. | |
Leicester, especially after that win at White Hart Lane in the Premier | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
League last week and with them being at home, they have a big chance. One | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
home defeat in 11 tries for Leicester City. Spurs, in their last | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
nine away ties have found goals difficult to come by, just four. | :17:41. | :17:55. | |
Spurs play out. This is Pochettino's way. Dier has given thataway. | :17:56. | :18:05. | |
Tomorrow I grade, so fleet of foot. -- Demarai Gray. I saw him on his | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
debut at White Hart Lane. He came in narrow and that allowed Leicester a | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
great game, in terms of crosses. I wonder if they will use that tactic | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
again tonight against Lamela. It could well be the youngster who | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
takes it. The edge of the penalty area. Andy King is in there. Such a | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
good scoring record in the FA Cup, just standing offside, Wasilewski is | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
up for it as well, Benalouane as well. He didn't quite get it right, | :18:53. | :19:06. | |
GRay. He is a player looking to get the. Ball. Davies. Spurs played | :19:07. | :19:19. | |
their full-backs very very high in that first game. I thought they were | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
caught out particularly down the right-hand side for Leicester City, | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
Nathan Dyer got caught out once or twice in that match. A fellow | :19:29. | :19:43. | |
commentators said it was a Leicester alloy to push the full-backs into | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
advanced positions so they couldn't get in behind. Leicester did not | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
start that game while at White Hart Lane. Eriksen. The ball back into | :19:52. | :20:04. | |
the heart of the Spurs midfield. Eriksen rejuvenated by his goals. | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
Chadli and Lamela in the wider positions. At the moment, Son | :20:12. | :20:24. | |
Heung-min has started on the left. The writeback pushed on, Walker | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
loves to go marauding forward. -- the right-back. | :20:32. | :20:46. | |
Looking for Son Heung-min. There was a decision against Dier at White | :20:47. | :20:58. | |
Hart Lane. One of the youngsters brought on so well by Pochettino. | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
Watching him in the first game, a great record bringing through young | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
English talent, among the substitutes, Jamie Vardy, and | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Mahrez, the scorer of most of the goals for Leicester City. And of | :21:15. | :21:24. | |
course Harry Kane for Spurs. With his 15 goals this season. A great | :21:25. | :21:33. | |
goal threat on the bench and Jamie Vardy as well. I expect we will see | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
Okazaki and Vardy at some stage. And of course Harry Kane. Leicester and | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
beaten since Boxing Day. They have drawn four of their last five games. | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
Spurs, two defeats in their last 17. Between these two sides, 44 games | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
played and five defeats. They have both been very consistent. Gray | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
again, we spoke about him, perhaps we expect too much from him | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
sometimes. He's coming to the Premier League, he is still young | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
but with his talent and ability Leicester have a bargain with the | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
fee they paid him from Birmingham. Punch Mike Davies. -- Davies. | :22:26. | :22:37. | |
Bentaleb playing very deep in the opening exchanges between the two | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
Spurs centre-backs. He has had a bad year in terms of injuries, missed 17 | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
games with an ankle problem since August 29, at Everton. Almost | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
playing as a third centre-back. Drinkwater is I think they're unsung | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
hero this, Leicester. That was a good chance. Something Jermaine | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Jenas spoke about before the game, Eric Dier comes back into give | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
stability from a defensive point of view, allowing the full-backs to get | :23:14. | :23:23. | |
forward. Into the central midfield position, going wide to make that | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
challenge. Covering a lot of ground in there. His second FA Cup start, | :23:28. | :23:39. | |
she started in the game against Arsenal couple of years ago and lost | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
in the third round twice in the last decade, that game at Arsenal, and at | :23:44. | :23:56. | |
Leicester in 2005-6. Lamela. A chase he will not win. When he drops in | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
he's got to be a little more aware that he can't give the ball away | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
like this. He's got to be tighter with his first touch and play | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
quicker. We know that the way that Leicester are set up they get back | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
into position quickly but that man, Drinkwater, he's having an excellent | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
season. He has many Manchester City and Manchester United connections. | :24:25. | :24:38. | |
Here is Benalouane. The 2005-6/3 round win for Leicester City, we saw | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
in the build-up the goals scored by Jermaine Jenas. But was kept out by | :24:44. | :24:54. | |
Dier, the first man to bed. -- the first man to it. In that cup tie | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
back in 2006, Spurs were two goals up and they lost the game late. But | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
has been the way these games have gone between these two sides of | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
late. Leicester City have come from behind, as they did in the first | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
game, to take the lead, only to be pegged back to 2-2. Certainly | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
entertaining. Kasper Schmeichel with the kick, targeting Eric Dier. Gray | :25:21. | :25:36. | |
down the left-hand side. Eriksen. Dier. Kevin Wimmer. He said very | :25:37. | :25:56. | |
good the Austrian. Walker. Son Heung-min is in the middle. I think | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
Tom Carroll got in. Into the hands of Kasper Schmeichel. | :26:06. | :26:28. | |
Very very good saves in the league game last week, especially from | :26:29. | :26:37. | |
Eriksen and Bentaleb in that match, the draw. I think he did not deal | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
with the initial strike that Eriksen got the rebound from. He's had an | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
excellent time since coming to a Leicester, he's a top goalkeeper. | :26:50. | :26:58. | |
Are they settling down? It's been a bit scrappy, Spurs giving the ball | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
away in their own half sometimes, Dier and Gray looking to capitalise | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
on it. Although Leicester looked the more threatening. They are back into | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
shape, it is how they break. Leicester are excellent when they | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
filter back into position, they all want to break so quickly. Certainly | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
doing it well at the moment. Coming from behind, there was a horrible | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
mistake by Michel Vorm. He had made early saves in that time. He is in | :27:32. | :27:41. | |
goal for Tottenham again tonight. He hasn't been on the winning side so | :27:42. | :27:50. | |
far in this season. Walker, lots of space. But was too pacey from | :27:51. | :28:02. | |
Chadli. Chadli playing through the middle. Interchanging with Son | :28:03. | :28:13. | |
Heung-min. I saw a lot of Son Heung-min in German football at | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen and I thought he was more effective in a | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
wide supporting role than in the middle. I would agree, I've seen him | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
a couple of times and I think he's better playing out wide or even of | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
the strike. In the first game at White Hart Lane he did not have as | :28:29. | :28:36. | |
much impact as he would have liked. Tom Carroll come into the penalty | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
area, Chadli brings it down. Eriksen in support. The pace of Gray. It | :28:44. | :28:54. | |
just licks the toe of Dier as he closes. Bentaleb. Moved on by | :28:55. | :29:12. | |
Eriksen. In this great competition, four times, Leicester have made the | :29:13. | :29:24. | |
final and been beaten. A break out wide to Simpson. In what frame of | :29:25. | :29:34. | |
mind would he have been in in the build-up comedy wasn't even in the | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
match day squad, Simpson, and suddenly, he's playing because of | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
the warm up injury to Ritchie De Laet. The referee had to be | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
consulted about that. He would have prepared before the match, they have | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
the pre-match meal but once the team has announced that he isn't on the | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
bench he might go off, she might eat some chocolate, your mind is not on | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
the match. You're not eating the right things, probably. He's got to | :30:03. | :30:07. | |
get himself right, get up to speed quickly, get right in the warm up so | :30:08. | :30:15. | |
it can be tough, yes. Eriksen. He scored a great goal here last | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
season, a wonderful free kick off target. On that occasion. But he's | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
rediscovered his form, three goals in three, had not scored in 15 | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
before that. Certainly got the ability. We expect more from him | :30:30. | :30:36. | |
sometimes, Eriksen, ghosting in. Two Leicester players throwing | :30:37. | :30:38. | |
themselves at it, Leicester City, this season, particularly with Huth, | :30:39. | :30:47. | |
excellent when they get into defending situations. May be Simpson | :30:48. | :30:53. | |
had some chocolate, in the pomp of Worthington if | :30:54. | :31:09. | |
players have found that they were not in the side they would take a | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
square of the old Cadbury 's dairy milk! There is Ritchie De Laet. | :31:13. | :31:20. | |
Davies has played the same number of games. | :31:21. | :32:02. | |
Healthy competition on the left side. Or is that a problem for | :32:03. | :32:08. | |
Spurs? The manager isn't convinced by either what do you think? I think | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
he feels he has two good left-backs and two good right-backs as well. | :32:15. | :32:19. | |
Interesting to see if they progress during this competition. If they get | :32:20. | :32:24. | |
to a semifinal or a final, the player wants to be left out. -- no | :32:25. | :32:32. | |
player wants to be left out. He is certainly creating something special | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
at Tottenham Hotspur. I have watched them closely in the commentary | :32:37. | :32:43. | |
capacity since the mid-80s, and I think this is a very strong tartan | :32:44. | :32:49. | |
setup, all the way through -- a strong tartan setup. -- Tottenham. | :32:50. | :33:15. | |
He looks to commit players. It is quite a rarity in the modern game. | :33:16. | :34:11. | |
Ben Chilwell loves to defend. He loves a tackle. Takes no chances. | :34:12. | :34:40. | |
Was that offside? Pochettino has coached at ten of England's last 17 | :34:41. | :34:55. | |
debut boys. Good defending. Ulloa ended up a | :34:56. | :35:58. | |
bit isolated. But there is real pace in this letter site. If he does have | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
three or four touches on the ball, the pace of this Leicester side | :36:03. | :36:09. | |
could build. Both sides seem to be active at the moment on the transfer | :36:10. | :36:10. | |
front. Spurs have been interested in the | :36:11. | :36:39. | |
teenager James Madison. And the first yellow card of the evening is | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
for Spurs' Ben Davies. Excellent run from Dyer. A clear pull-back from | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
Davies. The assistant was on the near side. Easy decision for the | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
referee. A brilliant ball from Gray. Good | :36:54. | :37:37. | |
defending from Davies. I am looking forward to seeing | :37:38. | :38:00. | |
Kasper Schmeichel released the ball. Yes, that is one of his strengths. | :38:01. | :38:17. | |
Leicester have been in seven semifinals. Developing good, young | :38:18. | :38:28. | |
players and maintaining the form they created last season. There was | :38:29. | :38:42. | |
a lovely quote yesterday - I want to be the crazy man. You can't | :38:43. | :38:49. | |
underestimate the impact that Nigel Pearson has on this side. He did a | :38:50. | :38:56. | |
great job here. Claudio Ranieri has taken it on and got them to heights | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
that we never expected them to get to. It is excellent to see them in | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
the position they are in in the Premier League. A very amiable chap, | :39:06. | :39:13. | |
the Leicester manager. But if you ask even a half awkward question in | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
an interview that he doesn't like, there is a Clinton in his eyes -- a | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
glint in his eyes. No communication between Benalouane | :39:22. | :39:36. | |
and Wasilewski. He could have taken his time. Good movement, though. | :39:37. | :39:43. | |
Good play from Tottenham. Difficult strike to take on for Ben | :39:44. | :40:11. | |
Davies. But well worked from Tottenham. Two years since he last | :40:12. | :40:24. | |
scored. Liverpool lead Exeter 1-0. Joe Allen | :40:25. | :41:11. | |
has got that goal. You will see it at half-time. The exasperation! | :41:12. | :41:30. | |
He is really highly regarded on the European coaching scene. 64 now, | :41:31. | :41:39. | |
Leicester's 10th manager in eight years. He has been coaching for a | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
long time. This is his 14th job. And he doesn't look a day older than | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
when he was last in the Premier League with Chelsea. A lot of | :41:50. | :41:54. | |
managers, it is a stressful job, and they seem to age quickly, but not | :41:55. | :42:05. | |
Ranieri. He was successful in his last international stint. | :42:06. | :42:31. | |
Well done. Good position that Son had taken up, but Gray was alert. | :42:32. | :42:52. | |
Eriksen with the corner kick, second of the game for Spurs. | :42:53. | :43:19. | |
Leicester are the kilograms of the two teams so far. -- and they are | :43:20. | :43:28. | |
the cagier of the two teams. Carroll protests his innocence. What | :43:29. | :44:00. | |
a confident run that was. Excellent run. He got his first touch wrong. I | :44:01. | :44:08. | |
think he got his head up and recognise that he didn't have any | :44:09. | :44:15. | |
support. This is a big chance here. Spurs are happy the free kick was | :44:16. | :44:17. | |
given. Inler has been something of a | :44:18. | :44:54. | |
talisman for Leicester when he has had a rare outing. Stretch at Vorm. | :44:55. | :45:07. | |
Vorm seems to leave a lot of space to his right hand side. He didn't | :45:08. | :45:10. | |
have to do too much. He was in a good position. There was a massive | :45:11. | :45:18. | |
space for Inler to go out. -- at. Son looks a lot more lively tonight. | :45:19. | :45:47. | |
He is picking the ball in positions where he feels comfortable. He has | :45:48. | :45:54. | |
certainly had an impact on this game. | :45:55. | :46:05. | |
Spurs followers have come by motorway and the quick train link. | :46:06. | :46:15. | |
3500 Spurs fans, and I gather tickets were fairly cheap as well. | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
Well done to Leicester for doing that. Good club, this. It is a great | :46:21. | :46:26. | |
atmosphere. Every time you come to the King Power Stadium, so good. | :46:27. | :46:42. | |
Leicester have had all sorts of troubles and have come through and | :46:43. | :46:43. | |
really illuminated this season. Ben Chilwell felt as if he could | :46:44. | :46:59. | |
have cut the initial pass played out to Walker. England under 18, 90 and | :47:00. | :47:10. | |
20 international. Very impressive. Good pressure on him from Andy King. | :47:11. | :47:26. | |
Andy King is the first to react. He started the first three games | :47:27. | :47:55. | |
this season. He has only started seven since those games, including | :47:56. | :48:08. | |
this one. Matty James has been out all season after a cruciate knee | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
ligament injury at the tail end of the last campaign against | :48:14. | :48:15. | |
Southampton, I think. With ceremony changes, -- some any | :48:16. | :48:40. | |
changes, the game is lacking the normal rhythm that these two sides | :48:41. | :48:41. | |
would produce. I would agree with that. Neither | :48:42. | :48:56. | |
side is really able to exert themselves on each other yet. | :48:57. | :49:39. | |
Walker has stayed out wide. He could have gone into that gap, but chose | :49:40. | :49:42. | |
not to. A very useful Spurs youngster on the | :49:43. | :50:07. | |
bench in Harry Winks. We will see if he gets the chance to come on. Not | :50:08. | :50:14. | |
the highest tempo to a cup tie. It is following the same sort of | :50:15. | :50:44. | |
pattern to the first game. When Leicester do win the ball back, they | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
are giving it to Tottenham. Tottenham are dominating possession. | :50:50. | :51:24. | |
Ulloa has scored in every cup tie he has played, bar a couple. | :51:25. | :51:36. | |
That was a good ball. Good run down the left from Ben Davies initially. | :51:37. | :51:50. | |
Putting the ball into a tough area. Well done to Lamela as well to try | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
to get on the end of it, just couldn't quite get over it. Decent | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
chance, though, for Tottenham. That was a different sort of cross | :51:59. | :52:57. | |
from Davies. Carroll scored a stunner against | :52:58. | :53:14. | |
Norwich on Boxing Day. Again, Leicester quite content to drop | :53:15. | :53:20. | |
deep. Certainly looking very much like a 4-5-1 system. Never really | :53:21. | :53:25. | |
going to trouble Schmeichel from there. It has been quite comfortable | :53:26. | :53:36. | |
for Leicester, for all the possession that Tottenham have had. | :53:37. | :53:49. | |
I would encourage anyone to hold the video -- get hold of the video of | :53:50. | :53:57. | |
that 1961 final. The pace is a lot slower. But the quality of the | :53:58. | :54:07. | |
Leicester players is high. Wonderful footballers. I know they are not on | :54:08. | :54:19. | |
the games machines that the youth of today play, but great legends of the | :54:20. | :54:24. | |
sport. It is a club with great history. Leicester had a fair few | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
legends. Eight minutes to go to half-time. I | :54:29. | :55:01. | |
wish I could say it has been wonderfully exciting, it hasn't. But | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
we have to have a winner. Drinkwater turned the wrong way | :55:07. | :56:07. | |
there. Full is the own, that is a stunner! What a way to break the | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
deadlock in the 39th minute! Well, the young full-back stood there, and | :56:14. | :56:23. | |
Son made him pay. A cracking opening goal. It is a brilliant goal. He has | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
been Tottenham's best player in this first half, Son. He just shifts it | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
creates a bit of space for himself, Andrew is it beyond Schmeichel. -- | :56:35. | :56:39. | |
and drills it beyond Schmeichel. Tottenham have had a lot of | :56:40. | :56:44. | |
possession. First time they have really been able to penetrate. | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
Shifts the ball to his right foot. Chill wearer is not close enough. | :56:50. | :56:56. | |
That is a brilliant strike from Son. Goes beyond Schmeichel before he can | :56:57. | :57:03. | |
react. It is a brilliant finish. Started so well in a Tottenham | :57:04. | :57:06. | |
shirt. It is not his first fantastic goal this season. He is capable of | :57:07. | :57:14. | |
extraordinary goals, and that extraordinary goal has livened up an | :57:15. | :57:20. | |
ordinary tie. We needed it, didn't we? Brilliant goal. And I think he | :57:21. | :57:27. | |
relishes coming from a wider position or a deep opposition. -- | :57:28. | :57:32. | |
deeper position. Well, 54 goals in 186 career games. | :57:33. | :58:01. | |
Went from FC Seoul to Hamburg and then onto Bayer Leverkusen. | :58:02. | :58:28. | |
That was a good run from Drinkwater to get beyond Ulloa. | :58:29. | :58:40. | |
Bodies in the middle. Ulloa had a couple against Tottenham in the | :58:41. | :58:59. | |
past. Won a major cup competition in South America, the South American | :59:00. | :59:00. | |
cup, when he was with Arsenal. Son just gave himself an extra yard | :59:01. | :59:20. | |
by rolling the ball out wide. It is a lesson for chill well. You can't | :59:21. | :59:26. | |
give players any extra space. -- a lesson for Ben Chilwell. | :59:27. | :59:50. | |
He has been very impressive so far. Good defending. A positive run by | :59:51. | :00:01. | |
Demarai Gray, attempting to drill it across the six yard box. Only 43 | :00:02. | :00:07. | |
minutes since Leicester City had their first corner. One effort on | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
target which was saved, comfortably. Gray will take it. Wasilewski | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
arrives, you scored at White Hart Lane. -- he scored. Chadli again | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
battling for it. Thought about the overhead and will probably think | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
twice. The combination almost worked from the set play. It worked so well | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
at White Hart Lane, Gray in two Wasilewski. Better defending from | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
Tottenham, getting back into position. | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
At this stage of his career, he needs regular football. Rumours are | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
linking him with a move back to Italy. Chadli. The keeper putting it | :01:11. | :01:33. | |
away, no chance with that shot. You can look at Kasper Schmeichel, | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
beaten at the near post, I don't think he could have done a thing | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
about the strike. Walker with the cross, Chadli arriving. Good | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
defending from Simpson, got his body in front of Chadli. You can see | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Chadli on the outside of him, she gets across, he's always got his | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
body open, he can see Chadli coming in and allows it to run across on | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
his inside, good defending from Simpson. Missed out, in round three | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
just once in the last four seasons, they have only won one in the last | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
seven all Premier League ties. One minute of stoppage time being | :02:19. | :02:32. | |
played. Tom Carroll. Could not get a pass cleanly away. Needed an ad | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
ball, did not have anyone showing for him. Here is Son. Nimbly done, | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
going on, this is good. Very nearly very good. Another good run from | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
Son. A real bright spark in this first half for Tottenham. | :02:58. | :03:14. | |
The corner. Looking for Wimmer. And there is the scored as the half-time | :03:15. | :03:29. | |
whistle blows. -- there is the player who scored. His goal | :03:30. | :03:42. | |
separates the teams. Super for them, although Leicester City have been | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
better so far, Spurs lead. Tottenham are leading at half-time, | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
1-0, against Leicester City, both these teams have made a lot of | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
changes and at times it should, Martin. I watched this first half | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
ten days ago at White Hart Lane, exactly the same! What has happened, | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
I was looking forward to watching Leicester play at home, they played | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
away at White Hart Lane and I felt they had to drop back. They've done | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
exactly the same, surrendered possession, surrendered ground to | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Spurs. Spurs playing away from home, the first 15 minutes of a cup tie, | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
you think Leicester might get at them... You might think they'd been | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
on the chocolate! Your two main creative players have two big | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
distances to go, I'm talking about Nathan Dyer, and I'm talking about | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
Gray. You cannot play that ball long to a player who isn't getting enough | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
support comedies going to give it away and he's going to not outrun | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
people so you need both your wide players further the pitch. From | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Tottenham 's point of view they will be more than happy going in at | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
half-time. They will be comfortable. The easiest 45 minutes they will | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
have all season because there is no threat in behind. To be fair, they | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
could have been more clinical in the final third although they eventually | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
got the goal that I feel they deserved. Your overall impressions, | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Ian? I tipped Leicester because I thought about and they would come in | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
with great energy. Without body and Mahrez they haven't got the energy | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
you need. Like Martin said, Ulloa comedies pulling over to the left, | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
the wide men could come in and feed of him and it isn't happening. It's | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
been easy for Spurs because they've taken the ball from him in that area | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
where they can get straight back in. No question what the highlight of | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
the first half was, there was only one, the goal from Son. A good | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
finish. The first bit of quality Spurs put together, as you mentioned | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
before the game finished, Son has been the bright spark for Spurs. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
When he picked it up it was nice to see them finally shifting ad. | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
There's been too much dilly-dallying around that box. As soon as he faces | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
him, he moves, his opponent didn't want to get too close. He is a very | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
fine player, a band coming, use got to get closer, if you have to get | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
closer. He had that welcome to be fair. It's got a speculatively shot. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
That's about the best chance they've had. Leicester without a star, they | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
are blunt in many ways. They are. The one positive thing is Demarai | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
Gray. I think we're going to swap, with Ulloa, he needs to be further | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
up, in the centre, he's trying to play into Gray, it has not worked | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
and Spurs are back on the attack. He needs to be more central. Look where | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Drinkwater is. Look where Demarai Gray is. No one is running beyond | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
him. It is very tough for Leicester at the minute. Where is he going? Is | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
crowded out. Leicester are desperate for a runner. Even Kante would make | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
a huge difference, raking that Spurs defensive line. They will not get | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
out, playing this way. We are seeing a very different Leicester to the | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
team we've seen all season in the league, Martin. The importance of | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
your very fine players in this site, Mahrez, who gives you a wee bit of | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
creativity and Jamie Mahdi, a phenomenal outlet, a really great | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
outlet, -- Jamie Vardy, you can defend when you've got Jamie Vardy | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
in the side because he will outrun defenders and he'll bring you | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
further up the pitch. When you don't have in on the side come you are | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
struggling. If there has been a bright spot for Leicester it has | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
probably been the performance of Demarai Gray. A fine player. Really | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
nice player, they've gotten from Birmingham, if the fee is the fee | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
they mention I think he will be great value. I saw him several times | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
playing for Birmingham last year. He's still got plenty to learn about | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
the game but he's a really exciting young talent. The one player who has | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
enabled them to get up the park because he holds onto the ball. He | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
always seems willing to hold on to it for longer and do something | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
creative. For Leicester in the first half he was the go to man. Just not | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
often enough to get the ball to him. Leicester's excellent scouting | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
system! And he doesn't mind going the other way, he's tracked him | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
back. That's good work from him. Not afraid to go the other way. Do you | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
think that Claudio Ranieri will tinker? As I mentioned, the first | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
half-year replicated the first half ten days ago. They made a | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
substitution at half-time. Kante came off, Okazaki came on and gave | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
them some energy. Leicester City pushed a bit further. Maybe because | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
they had a bit of hope from getting a late equaliser in the first half | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
against Tottenham but I think they decided to push up, they got more | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
men further forward and they caused Spurs problems, so maybe the second | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
half, at least you can hang onto that. For Spurs, the perfect | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
scenario would not be to have to bring on those big stars. Rookies | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
arrested them for a reason, to give them a rest, and see what others can | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
do. -- he's rested them for a reason. When you dominate so much | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
you need a goal because Leicester will change in the second half, as | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
they did at White Hart Lane. I think so. Tottenham haven't done too much | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
to be in the lead at the moment, because Leicester haven't held onto | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
the ball. Something 's got to change, otherwise Tottenham will | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
make a couple more! I am sure it will liven up in the second half. At | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
pitch side we have a former Leicester favourite and a current | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
list of favourite. You've been the captain of Leicester, under Martin, | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
despite your allegiance can you cannot deny that Tottenham deserved | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
that lead. They have been the superior team. Leicester don't mind | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
opposition having a lot of possession. They are used to | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
breaking on the counter. But tonight with five in midfield they haven't | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
been able to get bodies forward and they have struggled to be a threat | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
in the first half. Tottenham deservedly in front. Christian, how | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
do you reflect on the first half? After the first goal we changed | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
formation a bit. 4-4-2 row. I think it is a tight game, our game is not | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
based on having possession. I believe the second half will be | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
good. And 19-year-old playing in the position that you made your own at | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
Leicester City, he has been showing the ruthless nature of playing | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
against players that the top level, had a good 40 minutes and got and | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
done by Son towards the end of the first half. In Tottenham he doesn't | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
care about big names come he just enjoys his football and that is what | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
makes an strong. Matt, how have Leicester acquitted themselves, | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
they've got some curbs on the bench, two making their home debut. The | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
manager has shown faith putting them together and they worked well as a | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
pair, in the first leg and again tonight. Demarai Gray has been the | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
best outlet for Leicester this evening, I think. Showed great | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
confidence. Chilwell has done excellently. A strike on the ankle | :12:05. | :12:15. | |
like that, to be a goalkeeper like Kasper Schmeichel -- to beat him was | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
some effort. What about the second half, maybe Jamie Vardy and Mahrez | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
for the hosts? Row I think Okazaki could come on and make it more of a | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
4-4-2. Maybe the big guns will come on. Thank you for joining me and | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
braving the winter weather. Back to the studio. Eight FA Cup replays | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
last night including the lowest ranked team left in the competition, | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
after a 1-1 draw in the first game Eastleigh one and this is what | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
happened. -- Eastleigh went to Bolton and this is | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
The lowest ranked club in the competition against Bolton who are | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
still happy to be alive and kicking after yesterday! COMMENTATOR: A | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
lovely ball down the far side to Partington comedies into the penalty | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
area, can he drag it back, leaders, and he has scored! It is a glorious | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
goal, in off his left foot. They have stunned Bolton! Space for the | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
cross maybe, drilled in, the ball is dragged down and here is an | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
opportunity. Gary Madine drilled it into the bottom corner. The corner | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
taken short, in comes the cross. He slightly misjudges the header. It's | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
the shot and it is 2-1 for Bolton Wanderers. And they have turned it | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
around before half-time. The ball is headed away. It drops the way of | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
Eastleigh. Into the penalty area, it's a chance, and it is 2-2! Would | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
you believe it, Eastleigh have equalised just seconds from the | :14:10. | :14:10. | |
whistle! Half-time bite, beautiful! Onto the | :14:11. | :14:24. | |
edge of the penalty area, and yes, it is 3-24 Bolton! The captain has | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
struck a right footed from deep inside the penalty area. Easily on | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
the near side, back to the edge and there was the shot and it is | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
blocked. And Bolton Wanderers, amid their financial gloom, have | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
something to at least mildly celebrate. You can hear the 500 | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
Eastleigh fans in the background, singing and dancing, their team, the | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
lowest ranked survivors, are out. They are a good side. It is the | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
Championship. We are a national league Conference side and to play | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
in front of 500 fans of Eastleigh, and in Bolton, on a wintry Tuesday | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
night, is incredible. Definitely. A fine try. Confirmation of all the | :15:10. | :15:22. | |
results last might, we will bring you the best of the action at | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
full-time, provided there is no extra time here. Aston Villa and | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
West Brom edged through. 2008 winners Portsmouth upset its switch | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
and MK Dons will be hosting Chelsea know they've beaten at Northampton. | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
All the goals are on the BBC sport website now. | :15:44. | :15:58. | |
And on Saturday will bring you the best of the action from the eight | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
games taking place. One more replay tonight as Exeter take on a | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
Liverpool at Anfield, they drew 2-2 in the first game, this is what has | :16:09. | :16:09. | |
happened so far. COMMENTATOR: To Smith. Back to Smith | :16:10. | :16:29. | |
come in behind, it's in the danger area and its into the from Joe | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
Allen. The 10th minute of the game and Liverpool are in front. Well | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
worked down the left-hand side, a good ball, to Smith and a very good | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
combination of Christian Benteke. He's onside. And he puts it on a | :16:44. | :16:55. | |
plate for Joe Allen. And the Welshman gleefully sticks home his | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
second of the season. Liverpool are leading Exeter City 1-0. Joe Allen, | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
to Teixeira, and Christian Benteke should have scored. Wellcome adheres | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
that the club and he's in the team to put chances like that in the net | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
-- well, he is in the club and in the team to put chances like that | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
away. Smith. They were a little slow reacting to the space that Cameron | :17:26. | :17:26. | |
Brannagan had. Well hit. They are a bit behind at Anfield, it | :17:27. | :17:37. | |
has just turned half-time and Liverpool are leading 1-0. We | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
understand that Okazaki is coming on for Drinkwater, we suspected as | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
much. Get some energy in the side. It might not be a priority for | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
Leicester but please don't go out of this competition meekly. But | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
something into it. Okazaki he will make an instant impression comedies | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
very busy in the box, you doesn't give defenders one moment of peace, | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
just that energy will maybe give Leicester the spark they need. | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
Switching system? He will definitely give Ulloa much more support than in | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
the first half. And he's got a goal in him. The main thing Leicester | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
needs. I think it is the right change that Claudio Ranieri has | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
made. It just shows that he's always switched on, always thinking | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
positive on the front foot. It needs livening up. I'm not sure who that | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
is, it's in black and white, it was so long ago! Leicester have got it | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
all to do at the King power. We can rejoin our commentators for the | :18:46. | :18:46. | |
second Thank you, Gary, she got so many | :18:47. | :18:56. | |
goals of Leicester and won the Cup with Spurs. Another goal-scorer, | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
Okazaki, nobody has scored more goals in international football in | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
2009 than him. He can make things happen. He's on, as a replacement | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
for Drinkwater. Which means that Leicester as they did at the start | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
of the second half at White Hart Lane will go with two up front. They | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
needed to make the change, I think. Okazaki made an impact, coming off | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
the bench. Excellent goal within minutes of coming on. Leicester | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
needed an injection of pace and creativity in the side. He will | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
certainly bring that. Almost 100 club career goals in just over 300 | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
matches. They have virtually killed off the tie before Okazaki can make | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
an impact. Walker, and Lamela. Chappy is in the middle, Son behind | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
him. They played the percentages and forced the corner. Kyle Walker a | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
little frustrated, you wanted the ball returned from Lamela. The first | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
five corners, Leicester have won. Spurs had 66% of first-half | :20:11. | :20:11. | |
possession. Vorm, Leicester City have not tested | :20:12. | :20:35. | |
him enough, he's only had to make one save. Eriksen. Without | :20:36. | :20:51. | |
Drinkwater, Leicester will need to watch for the Spurs players breaking | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
between the lines. Drinkwater does a lot of fetching and carrying and | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
running off the wall, as does Andy King, out there. You need to be | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
switched on as well. Immediately we got Okazaki supporting Ulloa, able | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
to press higher. That in turn gets Gray and Dier further forward. This | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
is Gray comic he has bags of potential. The only player in the | :21:21. | :21:30. | |
first half for Leicester with spark, looking to create something, Demarai | :21:31. | :21:42. | |
Gray. Maybe he will bounce past the Centre forward, little one twos, | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
he's got the ability to do that, you might come into the game. 13 FA Cup | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
meetings, Spurs have seven wins and Leicester City three. What will he | :21:53. | :22:04. | |
have said to his team at half-time? He wants better closing down, | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
certainly, he wants them to show a bit more energy, he's seen it from | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
them this season, 33% possession will not worry him, it is the lack | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
of creativity when they have the ball, and when they have had it, no | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
real pace and power closing the opposition down. Didn't really get | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
off the ground there, Spurs make a break away with Eriksen. Eriksen. | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
Veering away. Away from Benalouane. That's got a bit befuddled. Son. | :22:42. | :22:53. | |
Gray, a very good ball, experience showing there. Tom Carroll. Son now | :22:54. | :23:11. | |
making the run. He's been a bit subdued, Son, since he picked up an | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
ankle problem. But tonight he is really showing why Spurs bought him. | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
His best display in several weeks in a Tottenham shirt, full Son. Taking | :23:23. | :23:36. | |
on too many in the end. A reminder of the teams. If you have just | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
joined us, Simpson, who was not in the original Leicester squad, came | :23:45. | :23:53. | |
in. Ritchie De Laet got an injury. That's knocked away by Benalouane. | :23:54. | :24:05. | |
Two Spanish cups when he was a player there, with Espanyol, I think | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
it was. Eriksen. Excellent ball from | :24:12. | :24:29. | |
Eriksen. Benalouane the only one to react. Nathan Dyer was on his | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
shoulder, you did not take Big Apple to be on the end of it, good | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
defending. -- he didn't take a gamble to be on the end of it. The | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
corner kick. Ulloa, crucially placed in the middle. Eriksen. Nathan Dyer. | :24:50. | :25:08. | |
It was got to him by Okazaki. Leicester played that well. It's too | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
tight to the line. The workrate, there. Excellent comedies just | :25:17. | :25:29. | |
brought a bit of spark, Okazaki, he's got the crowd on their feet. | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
Excellent, he has just brought a bit of spark, Okazaki. They've got the | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
crowd behind them now, Leicester. This will be an important 15 minutes | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
for them. Handball. He's looked so comfortable, and Wimmer as well. The | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
lads said half-time, the first half was an extremely comfortable half | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
for them. Spurs had a lot of possession without doing very much | :26:04. | :26:15. | |
when they got in the final third,. Wasilewski, his opportunities have | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
been limited this season, just a sixth game. Stenson. -- Simpson. | :26:19. | :26:34. | |
Wasilewski standing there, Spurs are a bit jittery at the moment. And | :26:35. | :26:47. | |
Gray! Good goalkeeping, and a worthy effort from the young player. So | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
much better for Leicester at the start of this half, Okazaki making | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
the difference initially, and eating with the ball, good awareness. | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
Demarai Gray, getting and beyond Walker. It's a good stop. He palms | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
it away. And Nathan Dyer can't react because it skips above the turf. | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
Good play from Leicester. His goal ratio at Birmingham was one in every | :27:18. | :27:26. | |
ten games. Good stop by the keeper. Looking for a first clean sheet this | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
season in a Spurs shirt, Michel Vorm. His opportunities have been so | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
limited, it's only his fourth game. Ulloa. To Simpson. He was looking | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
for a Nathan Dyer, the pass just overhead. -- it was overhead. Daniel | :27:45. | :27:56. | |
Leavey. Will they play at Wembley on a regular basis? | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
The crosses deflected off Bentaleb. -- the cross is deflected. | :28:03. | :28:21. | |
Think Wembley would be the better option for them to share the ground. | :28:22. | :28:31. | |
It would be a bit of time away from White Hart Lane. Interesting to see | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
where they will be playing their games now. Tottenham in the same | :28:36. | :28:46. | |
ground as Chelsea. We will see how that develops. There was even talk | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
of the Emirates at one stage, I couldn't see that, somehow, but we | :28:52. | :28:52. | |
will see! Good pressure by Leicester. To the | :28:53. | :29:09. | |
feet of Chadli. There is more zip about Leicester at the start of this | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
second half. Okazaki has brought the spotlight he brought it to White | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
Hart Lane a couple of Sundays ago. -- he's brought the spark. Gray. | :29:21. | :29:30. | |
Kim was very nearly Inler. Wimmer did well. Wasilewski dealing with | :29:31. | :29:44. | |
Lamela. Eriksen is arriving. Looking to thread the eye of the Needle, so | :29:45. | :29:52. | |
many options. Did not lift his head. Lamela chose the wrong option. | :29:53. | :29:57. | |
Movement ahead of him. Eriksen taking runners away with his | :29:58. | :29:59. | |
movement, freeing up players. A real opportunity for Tottenham. He | :30:00. | :30:16. | |
did so well to win the ball. Wasilewski, good skill. Eriksen | :30:17. | :30:24. | |
taking 2 players away. A bad decision from Lamela. In their with | :30:25. | :30:36. | |
the free kick. Chilwell... That was done rather ornately. A bit of a | :30:37. | :30:44. | |
worry for all of the Spurs fans. They did not have too much support, | :30:45. | :30:45. | |
Chilwell. Drill down towards Walker. A daft | :30:46. | :31:06. | |
header. -- a deft header. It is what you would expect, high-pressure, | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
pudding Tottenham players under pressure. A better feel to the | :31:11. | :31:21. | |
stadium. Now we have a cup tie! Leicester are chasing the game. Good | :31:22. | :31:27. | |
ball. Played with confidence and vision. Taking on Davies. Still | :31:28. | :31:37. | |
going. Gets the cross, there was no sting in it. Looking quite tight | :31:38. | :31:43. | |
standing up. Good defending from Davies. We were saying, Demarai | :31:44. | :31:53. | |
Gray, coming over. Freeing up Dyer. Harry Kane is getting ready to come | :31:54. | :31:54. | |
on. A nervous look towards the bench. It | :31:55. | :32:08. | |
might be him. The coaches talking to Harry Kane at the moment. I think | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
Pochettino recognises they need something different. A little bit of | :32:15. | :32:16. | |
pressure. They need him to relieve that | :32:17. | :32:24. | |
pressure. That nearly went through to Demarai | :32:25. | :32:46. | |
Gray. Lovely pass. Clever player. Clipped his man. Play on. | :32:47. | :33:00. | |
Holding up the play. They have switched it. Intelligent... Simpson, | :33:01. | :33:11. | |
guiding the pass. Dyer. Not sure he needed to do that. Inler, Leicester | :33:12. | :33:19. | |
are getting better and stronger. Pressure building... Simpson. | :33:20. | :33:25. | |
Bentaleb... That is a thrill for Tottenham. So much better from | :33:26. | :33:31. | |
Leicester. Again, closing players down in their final 3rd. Getting the | :33:32. | :33:33. | |
reward. Harry Kane scoring 2 goals in 15 | :33:34. | :33:59. | |
games. 26 in his last 37 Tottenham boots. A lot of experience from his | :34:00. | :34:08. | |
moves away from White Hart Lane, his loan moves. | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
The fans are taunting each other about the various merits of Jamie | :34:13. | :34:19. | |
Vardy and Harry Kane. Willie be together for England in Euro 2016? | :34:20. | :34:26. | |
It looks that way. The way they both have progressed this season. Ayes | :34:27. | :34:28. | |
will they be together? Okazaki giving chase but Eriksen | :34:29. | :34:43. | |
clearing it. Did not hold that up. Inler. | :34:44. | :34:57. | |
Frustrating season for him, because Vardy is ahead of him so far rushing | :34:58. | :35:03. | |
into the touch. Good vision from Chilwell. To see Demarai Gray have | :35:04. | :35:10. | |
run beyond. Coming a little bit deeper at times, I want to see him | :35:11. | :35:15. | |
try and stretch Walker. Get the ball further up the pitch. | :35:16. | :35:23. | |
Action on the Leicester bench, Spurs on the counter, Chadli. Eriksen... | :35:24. | :35:35. | |
Gliding, Harry Kane is outside, his 2nd touch of the game. Tottenham | :35:36. | :35:45. | |
prepared to sit in a little bit, try and bring Leicester on the | :35:46. | :35:47. | |
counterattack. A half chance for Harry Kane. The 1st said, I think | :35:48. | :35:54. | |
Kasper Schmeichel has made. It Spurs go all the way of this and | :35:55. | :36:11. | |
Europa League, they could be facing another 30 games. If Leicester go | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
out, 16 more games to play this season. | :36:16. | :36:34. | |
Good play from Eriksen. Good awareness on the outside. | :36:35. | :36:42. | |
Recognising that Kane is in space, should be going across the | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
goalkeeper. Harry Kane trying to get as much power as possible, | :36:48. | :36:50. | |
comfortable save for Kasper Schmeichel. Leicester change. | :36:51. | :36:58. | |
Simpson goes off. Albrighton comes on. Albrighton is a natural winger, | :36:59. | :37:11. | |
wide man. Playing at right back, expect him to move with the freedom | :37:12. | :37:18. | |
of the right-hand for Leicester. In the last 30 games, he has picked up | :37:19. | :37:27. | |
63 points. Or rather, his team have picked up. Even if they go out | :37:28. | :37:31. | |
tonight. Still plenty of time to bring this tie about. | :37:32. | :37:37. | |
Carol was a little bit slow to react, is he tarrying? Eriksen... | :37:38. | :37:48. | |
Chadli, a heavy 1st touch. Opening things up. Walker... | :37:49. | :37:59. | |
Leicester with about 8 blue shirts, they should deal with this. | :38:00. | :38:13. | |
Leicester could change things. Dyer... Too much weight on the pass. | :38:14. | :38:21. | |
The crowd do not like it. A brilliant ball from Albrighton, to | :38:22. | :38:27. | |
see Dyer in space. As soon is he takes his 1st touch, Eric Dier | :38:28. | :38:30. | |
should be driving at. A difficult pass. The Tottenham defence... They | :38:31. | :38:41. | |
have only been beyond round 35 times in the last decade. They have scored | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
in their last 12 FA Cup ties. Dyer in the end, under good | :38:47. | :39:04. | |
pressure. You mentioned before, he has played well, a good game. Should | :39:05. | :39:12. | |
Spurs have started with the guns? They started with a weaker team. A | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
supposedly weaker team and now they are bringing the bigger players on. | :39:19. | :39:24. | |
Proving the right decision. Into the box... Chadli... 2- 0! | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
CHEERING Flying bill-macro slicing through | :39:29. | :39:36. | |
the Leicester defence. It is that man again. Lovely pass. When he gets | :39:37. | :39:51. | |
in, excellent finish. A really crisp finish. Only his 2nd game bill-macro | :39:52. | :39:58. | |
goal in an injury punctuated season. He allows Eriksen free time, so much | :39:59. | :40:08. | |
space. A lovely weighted pass, excellent ball. Played into a | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
difficult situation for Leicester. I cannot get act around. Wasilewski | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
cannot get goal side, a brilliant save. They had to wait a long time | :40:19. | :40:24. | |
for that goal. Spurs are on the way to Wembley, is | :40:25. | :40:35. | |
the song on the lips of the travelling 3 1/2 thousand. This | :40:36. | :40:41. | |
place, if Leicester could get back into the game, would be rocking | :40:42. | :40:46. | |
again. This stadium has been 1 of the most atmospheric, not just this | :40:47. | :40:52. | |
season but last season. In fairness, they have done it an a few times | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
this season. It literally rocks, the stands literally rock. When the | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
crowd gets going. He loves his heavy rock. Or his prologue rock. He likes | :41:02. | :41:08. | |
his kiss a B. Again, the wrong decision from | :41:09. | :41:34. | |
Eriksen. Chadli had a good look to his left, trying to pick out Harry | :41:35. | :41:36. | |
Kane. Beaten twice. The worry for | :41:37. | :41:52. | |
Leicester is that the goals have dried up at the other end. Four | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
goals in their last 6 games. Spurs fans singing at the moment. | :41:58. | :42:13. | |
Promise and momentum, in contrast, he cannot be glum for long. He will | :42:14. | :42:24. | |
be hoping it doesn't peter out. It is a devilish game, isn't it? Your | :42:25. | :42:29. | |
team can be down there in a hellish situation for years and suddenly it | :42:30. | :42:33. | |
picks up and so do your expectation levels. You get heartbroken all over | :42:34. | :42:41. | |
again. Who would be a football fan? Here is to marry grey. | :42:42. | :42:52. | |
Getting forward boldly. To remind you, this is only his 3rd game. | :42:53. | :43:04. | |
I think it was Young Player of the Year last year for Leicester. The | :43:05. | :43:13. | |
U21 player. Looks like he has got a good future ahead of them. A loan | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
move at Huddersfield this year. Chilwell. Going to take them on. A | :43:18. | :43:24. | |
decent cross into the box. All the way through... Could not do anything | :43:25. | :43:32. | |
with that. An opportunity for Leicester. It was, he went for the | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
backheel, a good ball from Albrighton to try and get the | :43:37. | :43:38. | |
striker away. Chadli. At the line before Harry Kane came | :43:39. | :43:52. | |
on. Wider now. Wasilewski, Kane puts it through. Okazaki crowding the | :43:53. | :44:04. | |
space initially. Dyer... Wembley winner with Swansea in the League | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
Cup. A free kick. A bad 1 to give away. Again, Dyer picking up the | :44:11. | :44:19. | |
ball. The keeper has a lot to do. We want to see him running off the | :44:20. | :44:24. | |
ball, tried to get himself freer, higher up the pitch, the 3rd level. | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
A better chance to run at the Tottenham defence. Leicester fans | :44:30. | :44:34. | |
have been dreaming of a long run since the recent semifinal. Beaten | :44:35. | :44:43. | |
in 82 by Garth Crooks. That was against Spurs. Dreaming of a | :44:44. | :44:44. | |
comeback. Leicester. Kim has scored 1 goal this season. | :44:45. | :44:55. | |
Yet to score in a Leicester shirt, deflected. Was not a great free | :44:56. | :45:00. | |
kick. Keep the momentum with them. Albrighton escaping his marker. Got | :45:01. | :45:20. | |
it away, did not wait for the keeper. A communication problem. | :45:21. | :45:30. | |
Wasilewski... Walker, the Tottenham captain goes across, he has had a | :45:31. | :45:35. | |
good game. An important challenge for basilar ski, a brake on for | :45:36. | :45:38. | |
Tottenham. The touch from Dyer got away from him, good defending from | :45:39. | :45:40. | |
Walker. -- Wasilewski. Looking for Arc is likely. Jamie | :45:41. | :45:49. | |
Vardy is going to come on. Here is Kane, still going and | :45:50. | :46:00. | |
going... Schmeichel saves. Chilwell gets it out. Leicester have come a | :46:01. | :46:08. | |
long, long way. If they can get Jamie Vardy on and quickly into the | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
action. Get a goal in the next 5 or 6 minutes, it will be interesting. | :46:14. | :46:15. | |
Not yet on. Albrighton... They have got to take 1 of the white | :46:16. | :46:29. | |
men off, Leicester. But who? I think Demarai Gray is having an impact. I | :46:30. | :46:36. | |
will imagine he will stay on. Tottenham look such a thread on the | :46:37. | :46:37. | |
counterattack. That time, an opportunity for Kane | :46:38. | :46:53. | |
and a good save for Schmeichel. Nacer Chadli is being replaced by | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
another young England hopeful in a Spurs shirt. He pressed in the 1st | :46:59. | :47:07. | |
game himself. Listen to the roar of the crowd. | :47:08. | :47:20. | |
It is going to be Dyer. Yes, I can understand that. | :47:21. | :47:27. | |
CHEERING Demarai Gray on the left-hand side. | :47:28. | :47:39. | |
What a season this man has had. 15 goals. Since breaking the record, | :47:40. | :47:50. | |
scoring in 11 Premier League games. Remarkable he is playing so soon | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
after surgery. Described it as a minor operation. But again, a decade | :47:56. | :48:03. | |
ago... Certainly 30 years ago, he would have been out for a long time. | :48:04. | :48:11. | |
And fans in sports medicine, 1 of the most progressive moves over the | :48:12. | :48:22. | |
last 2 decades. Players now, we see, hernia operations, back playing | :48:23. | :48:25. | |
within a couple of weeks. We might see the benefits of Jamie Vardy. | :48:26. | :48:30. | |
Wasilewski beaten by Kane... The Tottenham striker is knocked over. | :48:31. | :48:42. | |
Miss judge the bounce. Very brave, Harry Kane. Going in for the | :48:43. | :48:48. | |
challenge. Wasilewski staying well away. I think he knows. He could get | :48:49. | :48:56. | |
a yellow card. Anthony Taylor may be keeping well away as well. Grizzly | :48:57. | :49:09. | |
Adams. It was certainly a hybrid. You do not want to mess with him, do | :49:10. | :49:15. | |
you? He is a big man. -- a highly boot. He is 6 foot 1. And I think he | :49:16. | :49:28. | |
is 6 foot 1 wide as well. And 14 stone. | :49:29. | :49:38. | |
Chilwell saw the danger early. We spoke about him in the 1st game, he | :49:39. | :49:48. | |
enjoys defending. Throws himself in front of shots at goal, enjoys | :49:49. | :49:50. | |
himself in 1-to-1 situations. Yes, Tottenham are totally dominant. | :49:51. | :50:07. | |
The most creative side in the final 3rd, throughout this game. | :50:08. | :50:24. | |
Ready for the corner kick. 13 and minutes to go. Dyer on the age of | :50:25. | :50:37. | |
the 6 yard area. -- Dyer on the age. Eriksen. Bentaleb and support. | :50:38. | :50:47. | |
Jill Wall again. Look at this. Chilwell. Was not a bad player | :50:48. | :51:10. | |
himself, was he? He is happy with it. Think how Leicester switched | :51:11. | :51:16. | |
off. Totally switched off, sloppy play. Did not get themselves | :51:17. | :51:22. | |
organised. Pochettino saw that himself from the touchline. He was a | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
good player with Argentina, Bordeaux, PSG. | :51:28. | :51:33. | |
Ranieri was also decent in his time. Played with Rome. For a little | :51:34. | :51:43. | |
while. Davies... Carol... Intelligent pass. 2 genome. | :51:44. | :51:55. | |
We saw this from Tottenham at the weekend against Sunderland. Once | :51:56. | :52:16. | |
they got a couple of goals cushion, they really enjoyed their football, | :52:17. | :52:23. | |
doing the same again. Wasilewski tucks it away. | :52:24. | :52:29. | |
Good football by Leicester. Okazaki, putting behind. Kane, from an | :52:30. | :52:39. | |
offside position. Again, Demarai Gray, I want them to play a little | :52:40. | :52:45. | |
further forward, receive the past. On the shoulder, perhaps even in | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
advance of Walker. Massive potential. The youngster. | :52:51. | :53:01. | |
Leicester fans have had so much joy this season. I think they have had | :53:02. | :53:15. | |
enough. This is a great stadium. The rugby club is also in the heart of | :53:16. | :53:17. | |
the city. Dead well, opening things up, | :53:18. | :53:29. | |
Albrighton. -- he did well. King... Chilwell is available. | :53:30. | :53:36. | |
30,006 in the ground. Chilwell... Prepared to run again, he is | :53:37. | :53:43. | |
adventurous and fearless, he sees a situation... Very much so. Chilwell | :53:44. | :53:52. | |
being allowed some more space. Not on top of each other. Positive from | :53:53. | :53:55. | |
the left-back. The average crowd at the league, the | :53:56. | :54:06. | |
highest ever in this stadium. Demarai Gray... Onomah... Harry | :54:07. | :54:15. | |
Kane. Wasilewski, tried to turn away. | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
Tottenham territory. Harry Kane is from ball from store. The Tottenham | :54:19. | :54:30. | |
heartland. Another England youngster. Excellent prospect. But | :54:31. | :54:31. | |
no more. -- Onomah. Kept the momentum, Eriksson picking | :54:32. | :54:59. | |
it up. That was overhead, wasn't it? A bad pass from Eriksson, he could | :55:00. | :55:03. | |
have clipped that over, Wasilewski had stepped up. | :55:04. | :55:18. | |
Delie Alli will, won for Spurs, I think. | :55:19. | :55:28. | |
Okazaki... Jamie Vardy... Back into the middle. Good positional play | :55:29. | :55:46. | |
from Jamie Vardy. It was slightly overhead from Fadi, could not get it | :55:47. | :55:54. | |
quite under control. Looking for the strike partner to get him back into | :55:55. | :55:59. | |
his path. Do not have the biggest squad, maybe going out of the cup | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
will help them in their search for a top four place in the league. | :56:05. | :56:13. | |
1 win in 7, this will be, Delie Alli preparing to come on for Tottenham. | :56:14. | :56:22. | |
Can Leicester hit the ceiling? Have they had the ceiling? I would not | :56:23. | :56:27. | |
want to say that, perhaps that is the reason why Ranieri is trying to | :56:28. | :56:34. | |
wrest Jamie Vardy, trying to keep them fresh, Morgan as well. He knows | :56:35. | :56:38. | |
it is a big few months for Leicester City. I meet so many neutrals on the | :56:39. | :56:47. | |
trains, travelling to grounds. What fans genuinely help from different | :56:48. | :56:51. | |
clubs is that Leicester stay up. Yes, every neutral in the country | :56:52. | :56:57. | |
want Leicester to do it. It has been a remarkable story. 2015. I think | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
most neutrals will applaud the quality of his golf. Such strike, | :57:03. | :57:09. | |
such venomous power. A brilliant night. | :57:10. | :57:16. | |
That is why they signed him in the summer. Linked with Saido Berahino, | :57:17. | :57:30. | |
that did not come off, of course. Delie Alli comes on, what a young | :57:31. | :57:32. | |
talent he is! Onomah, trying to get the free kick, | :57:33. | :57:39. | |
decent defending by Chilwell. Just over 6 minutes to go. Leicester | :57:40. | :57:55. | |
need a flash of magic. A good break from Albrighton, good | :57:56. | :58:06. | |
defensive cover from Walker. Could be in the England Euro squad | :58:07. | :58:36. | |
in the summer. Kane will be there, Delie Alli as well, I would imagine. | :58:37. | :58:41. | |
Others on the fringe, Eric Dier will be there. Demarai Gray... Good | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
effort. He has not been shy of taking his | :58:46. | :58:57. | |
chances. Looking back onto his right foot. Just not dipping quite enough | :58:58. | :59:07. | |
to get it on target. On a night, Leicester have been well below | :59:08. | :59:15. | |
par-macro, it is about progression. It is about trying to gain | :59:16. | :59:20. | |
experience. Workers flee into the team on a regular basis. Not done | :59:21. | :59:26. | |
his chances any harm. -- work his way into the team. | :59:27. | :59:46. | |
6 efforts on target, in the game, I make it, the Leicester centre-backs | :59:47. | :59:50. | |
have been hard at work. It has been impressive. I just think | :59:51. | :00:04. | |
in the 2nd half, Tottenham have been able to filter back into the wrong | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
shape, Lal Leicester to push bodies forward. On the break, they have | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
looked excellent, Spurs. Next for Leicester in the Premier | :00:11. | :00:39. | |
League, at Stoke, Vardy almost got in behind there, gets his shot away, | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
it would not quite come for him and it hasn't in his last six games. | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
That was his chance. Looking to make the challenge, looking over his | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
shoulder, sending Vardy away, just couldn't get the ball under control, | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
though. Jamie Vardy a game, further across | :01:00. | :01:19. | |
the penalty area. Less than three minutes to go, there will be two or | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
three minutes of stoppage time. Substitutions... Wasilewski. The | :01:29. | :01:41. | |
Spurs fans will go home happy if it stays like this for the next two or | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
three minutes, all because of this. This was the initial goal for Son, | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
brilliant, just shifted the ball, then struck and beyond Casbah | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Schmeichel, and then what a brilliant pass to set up Chadli for | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
the second. Two minutes left of normal time. Liverpool are leading | :02:06. | :02:17. | |
Exeter 2-0. The youngster gets the second goal after Joe Allen got the | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
first. A valiant effort from Exeter. A smile from Hugo Lloris, on the | :02:26. | :02:38. | |
bench, the Spurs. -- for Spurs. Away by Chilwell. | :02:39. | :03:03. | |
Tired legs and minds out there. I was at Villa Park where Leicester | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
would as appointing, there are signs that the season is catching up for | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
them, he is Chilwell, she's certainly fresh. That was | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
well-stocked, it came stinging at him and he got down low very | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
quickly. The two youngsters have provided a bit of spark for | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Leicester. Chilwell, and of course Gray. A great cross from Chilwell to | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
the far post. It's a yellow card for Marc Albrighton, who came so close. | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
He just goes from power, excellent from Chilwell, a lovely clipped | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
cross. Marc Albrighton goes straight at Vorm. They comfortable save the | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
keeper in the end. -- a comfortable save the keeper in the end. | :03:53. | :04:04. | |
Wasilewski getting in front of Kane. The board let's us know how much | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
stoppage time we have left. Three minutes of stoppage time. At the | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Palace Stadium. Is that enough for Leicester City? Marc Albrighton to | :04:16. | :04:29. | |
take on his man, stumbled into Kane and gives them a free kick. Who is | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
your Man of the Match? You can't look beyond that man, Son Heung-min, | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
a big part of both goals committed scored the first and helped create | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
the second, he's had an excellent might. Another worry for Leicester | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
is that it is now three home games without a goal. | :04:51. | :05:02. | |
It has been a wonderful season for Leicester. That will be a crumb of | :05:03. | :05:26. | |
comfort if the peter out. Kane. Expectation levels of Spurs are very | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
high. The amount of games could be key, they are a small squad, they | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
don't have as much depth, 16 games to go now, 16 cup finals in many | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
respects for Leicester until the end of the season. Some of those players | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
are looking at close to 60 games in this season. Two minutes of stoppage | :05:58. | :06:10. | |
time, we are into the last minute. It's coming to an end in this | :06:11. | :06:22. | |
third-round replay. They need this to go in, and Vorm makes sure it | :06:23. | :06:32. | |
didn't. They could not quite get over him. To direct the header just | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
beyond Vorm, all Leicester's chances this evening have all gone. | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
Everything struck straight at the keeper has come back off him. He | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
will be gutted if he doesn't keep a clean sheet. In it comes. Loose. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
Plus my Schmeichel was up, he is still up. -- Kasper Schmeichel was | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
up. WHISTLE | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
And Tottenham go through to the fourth round of the FA Cup. They | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
have beaten Leicester City 2-0. Another hiccup for Leicester City. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
Another doldrums day. Spurs celebrate a first goal by Son, a | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
stunning effort. Scored one, made one, lovely ball to Chadli to make | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
it two goals, worthy winners. Ridge definitely. But dominant display. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
They were the better side. 2-mac they thoroughly deserved the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
victory. They had more of the ball, they had the goals, and it is | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Mauricio Pochettino's team that go through. Leicester City have some | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
thinking to do. To have beaten Leicester 2-0. | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
Tottenham will go into the fourth round and will travel to Colchester. | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
It didn't quite happen for Leicester, not enough strength and | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
depth compared with Tottenham, both side made changes in the game, | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Tottenham came out comfortable winners, Martin O'Neill. Too easy | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
for them, too comfortable, as you say. A blip in an otherwise | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
brilliant season for Leicester, although I admit the manner of the | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
exit has been disappointing. Momentum is important and that kind | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
of thing can have a negative effect perhaps on their league form. It | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
could do, you would hope not for the sake of both teams Camille hit the | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
nail on the head, when they both made changes, Spurs have that | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
strength and depth, the front four they started with, Lamela, Eriksen, | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Chadli, you would start them in the Premier League every week, Leicester | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
don't have that strength and depth. Ian? They didn't have to do too much | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
to beat a Leicester side that really struggled. I thought the first half | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
performance: not being able to get out, Wimmer, Eric Dier, nothing much | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
to do. Okazaki, when he came on, made a bit of a move, in the end, it | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
was very comfortable like Martin said for Tottenham. When the second | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
goal went in, Jermaine, that was it pretty much. Claudio Ranieri could | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
not really make changes after that. Son was brilliant all day and when | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
he slipped that want to Chadli, you could back on him, Chadli is very | :09:34. | :09:44. | |
calm in front of goal,. And Eriksen, so sharp when he came alive, the | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
ball into Kane, and instantly into Son, that was a good finish. That | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
was what was missing in the first half, that sharpness. Clinical. They | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
pretty much but the game to bed at that point. We can hear from some of | :10:01. | :10:10. | |
the Tottenham heroes. With me Kyle Walker and Christian Eriksen, world, | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
you are into the fourth round of the FA Cup, a dominant performance. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
Leicester have been good this season, we've played them twice | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
before this. The boys did fantastic especially in the first half, I'm | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
happy for everyone. Christian, did that go to the game plan? Yes, we | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
did a lot of ball possession and we had it, I think we were a bit more | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
dangerous and attacking so we did well. A goal for Son Heung-min, and | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
an assist tonight, I understand he them off with a bit of an injury, | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
how instrumental was he? Obvious qualities, very good on the ball, | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
got a good shot on him and an eye on the pass. Son's has been doing | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
fantastic in training and did it on the pitch tonight. Into round four | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
of the FA Cup, how far can this Spurs team go? I think we will see. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
We won round further and we know what to expect, everyone knows it | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
will be really hard in the next game, we're playing in every | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
competition and we want win everything, that will be hard. Thank | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
you. I think the mask and might be Man of the Match for Leicester! What | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
do you think of this site? Generally they are involved in every | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
competition and they seem to take them all seriously in spite of | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
making changes, Jermaine said they have four players upfront that could | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
make anyone's first team. Their position in the league, they will be | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
desperate to finish in the top four. They may even think they have a | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
chance of winning the championship. I think they are doing really fine | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
indeed. They've got some good players, yet sometimes when you feel | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
as if they have nailed it, absolutely cracked it, they lose a | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
game. They lost to Leicester. There is a sense of opinion out there that | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
says that they are not as fragile as they once were, there is more meat | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
on this team. That's still got to be proved. Used to mention about the | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
World Cup taking place and for instance, you always feel about | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
Spurs, up there, and there, finishing fifth. This time, it looks | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
a bit different. They do have the talent, let me put it this way, to | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
go through, they just need that drive and it looks like it is | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
coming. A lot of good players and the pick of them was Son. Let's | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
review his performance. You mentioned it, Gary, he really was | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
the bright spot for Spurs tonight, a lot of their play was pedestrian, | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
every time it went to Son the game came alive. He's always looking | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
forward, this is late doors in the second half, Chilwell backs off and | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
backs off and is lucky to get the block on there because just before | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
that he had stuck one away. His awareness around the box, making | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
things happen was exceptional tonight, I think Walker made | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
reference to him having that type of pass in the locker, they work with | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
him we can, week out in training. It was his goal. It is quality goal, we | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
saw Chilwell, couple of occasions where you don't back off and at some | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
stage you will have to get closer to people, the players playing against | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
him, and get some challenges in, you can take nothing away from Son, he's | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
moved really quickly and done really well. They've got plenty of options, | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
Tottenham. Upfront, Harry Kane, that is probably the one position where | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
they were short. The main position. That is why they are trying to | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
address that, talking about making a signing in the window, but when you | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
look at Tottenham and the spine they've got with Hugo Lloris, Toby | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
Alderweireld, Mr Dembele, Harry Kane, that spine is pretty good. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
Flesh that out with the other players and you are looking at | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
Tottenham team where you can say that looks solid. Who would they | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
bring in as the second striker to Harry Kane? Realistically he must be | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
able to sit on the bench and come on and have an impact, you need that | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
type of player who is willing to do that. Blount as for Leicester, | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
defeat, Martin, although a bit improved in the second half. Wrote a | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
bit of improvement because of the substitution coming on, Okazaki | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
giving them more impetus and a bit more enthusiasm, a bit more drive. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
And getting them a bit further up the field. The most important thing | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
at this stage is that if he comes on to make that impact you have to try | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
to make it count. And just when they were getting into the game Spurs | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
scored the second goal and killed off that enthusiasm. He's constantly | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
chasing, Harry in the opponents. Look at the way Ulloa played today, | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
hardly contributed anything. The way that Okazaki came on and really put | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
the Tottenham defender is under pressure and made them rush, things | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
happened for them,. There was a time when you thought | :15:28. | :15:44. | |
Leicester could put on pressure. It didn't happen. It's been a great, | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
great season. They will be disappointed with the manner in | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
which they have gone out that they have big things to look forward to. | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
Given the nature of Leicester's squad and that they don't have the | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
strength and depth that Spurs have, is this perhaps not a bad thing that | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
they are out of the FA Cup? Put it this way, they will get over it | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
quickly. Very quickly indeed, in about 15 minutes. | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
LAUGHTER Disappointment and then let's get | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
the pizza! Reaction from the managers before we leave you. At | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
half-time we brought you what happened in the replay last night | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
between Bolton and non-league Eastleigh. The best of the action | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
from the other seven matches. Leave to Portsmouth pulled off a shock | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
against Championship high-flyers Ipswich Town on a cold Tuesday night | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
at Fratton Park. Roberts opened the scoring against his former club, | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
converting a penalty after he was brought down. Mark McNulty then | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
extended Portsmouth's lead heading in a great cross from Gareth Evans. | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
Ainsley Maitland miles put in this beauty to try to spark a second-half | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
revival but Ipswich's hopes extinguished when one man was sent | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
off for a second yellow card. Portsmouth face neighbours | :17:13. | :17:22. | |
Bournemouth in the fourth round. Possession once again. It goes out | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
to the right, it's a clean header, and it's Clark, the Irish defender, | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
scoring for Aston Villa. Villa looking for the second goal. That | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
would put it to bed! It is 2-0, in favour of Aston Villa. There was a | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
humdinger of a tie at the Madejski Stadium as Reading came back to beat | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
Huddersfield Town. The visitors raced to a 2-0 lead. The Terriers | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
had the advantage but the game changed when John Hogg is | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
Huddersfield was dismissed for bringing down his opponent. Reading | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
slotted home the resulting free kick. Reading made the most of their | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
one-man advantage with that on loan Watford striker completing a | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
second-half hat-trick. Before the strike from Alex Fernandez made it | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
five for the Royals. Reading and now face Walsall in the fourth round. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Dawson, for West Bromwich. And is this the moment? It certainly is! | :18:32. | :18:42. | |
The breakthrough in this third-round replay. | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
Bradford and Bury played out a goalless draw at Valley Parade, | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
despite the visitors being reduced to ten men early on. It all came | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
down to penalties. The Bunny Makro Keble was the hero, saving from two | :18:59. | :19:08. | |
attempts. Kevin Dick Ellis sealed victory for the visitors. Very Makro | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
are through to the fourth round of the FA Cup. MK Dons guaranteed a | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
money spinning home fourth-round tie against Chelsea with a comfortable | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
victory over neighbours Northampton. They opened the scoring from the | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
spot. Half-time substitute Murphy made it two goals for the home side | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
before Northampton keeper Smith committed a foul in the box, the | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
resulting penalty from Simon Church sealed the victory. Carlisle ensured | :19:39. | :19:49. | |
a 660 mile round trip to face Yeovil in a bad-tempered game. It was the | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
home side who took a first half lead through Jack Compton. The visitors | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
even things up when Sweeney bundled in a header that sparked and ugly | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
brawl in which both sides were lucky not to see players dismissed. The | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
former Carlisle striker then missed the chance to win it for Yeovil from | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
a penalty in the last minute of normal time. Each side had one man | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
sent off in extra time but the score remained the same and it came down | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
to spot kicks with both teams converting their first four, this | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
you'll fill player saw his effort pushed on to the post by Gillespie, | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
leaving Ellis to slot his kick home and secure Carlisle and the home tie | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
against Everton in the next round. Some big games last might here at | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
the King Power Stadium, Tottenham are the winners, 2-0. We can hear | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
from the winning manager, Bristol Pochettino. Congratulations on the | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
victory, you must be delighted with a dominant performance. Very | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
pleased. The performance was fantastic, great. We dominated from | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
the beginning until the end. I'm very pleased with their performance, | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
fantastic game. A word about the contribution of Son Heung-min? A | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
special goal. Am happy for him and for Nacer Chadli as well, it is | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
always important when they have the opportunity to score. Bridge Maggie | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
must be delighted with the strength of the squad at Tottenham. It's | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
always the same, we have a strong squad, in every game, every | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
selection, it's important because Tottenham play, and it's important | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
to keep motivated, we are in a difficult period of the season, we | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
need all the players motivated, working hard, and always with | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
expectations that they can play consistently. We are happy because | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
it is all about teamwork, and today we showed that we have a good squad. | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
Thank you for your time, well done tonight. One final replay. It | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
happened at Anfield as Liverpool welcomed Exeter after the 2-2 draw. | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
Commentary by Steve also. -- Steve Wilson. | :22:23. | :22:34. | |
Into Christian Benteke. Back to Smith. He's got it behind. It's a | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
danger area, and into the net by Joe Allen. The 10th minute of the game | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
and Joe Allen puts Liverpool in front. And a very good little | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
combination herewith Christian Benteke. He is onside. And put it on | :22:52. | :23:04. | |
a plate for Joe Allen. The Welshman gleefully sticks home his second of | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
the season. Liverpool are leading Exeter City 1-0. Joe Allen, to | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
Teixeira, and bent it should have scored! -- Christian Benteke should | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
have scored. He's in the club and in the team to put chances like that in | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
the net. Brannagan. Jordon Ibe, to Cameron Brannagan. Jordan Ibe. | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Smashed the bar! Was he fouled in the six yard box, the referee says | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
not, as he was trying to put the rebound away. He absolutely smashed | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
the barrel. And that is so close. That's a good decision. Jordan Ibe | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
picking up for Liverpool, Ojo schools! And that | :24:00. | :24:17. | |
will surely do it for Liverpool. The goalkeeper for Exeter wrong-footed | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
on his Anfield debut the youngster scores his first goal for Liverpool. | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
A moment to savour and remember for Ojo. Liverpool are leading Exeter, | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
2-0. Christian Benteke. He's gone around | :24:34. | :24:51. | |
Brown, gone around Taylor. He's played a great ball. And it is | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
three! That's from Teixeira. Well done, Christian Benteke. He has bled | :25:00. | :25:08. | |
away. He hasn't got onto the scoresheet but he has provided the | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
assist for Joao Teixeira to score his first Liverpool goal. And | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
Liverpool will play West Ham in the fourth round. The forefront of this | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
season's FA Cup. -- the fourth round. | :25:30. | :25:43. | |
This will be the line-up for the fourth-round draw of the FA Cup. 13 | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
ties on Saturday, including Colchester against Spurs, the | :25:52. | :25:52. | |
winners here tonight. We can hear from Claudio Ranieri | :25:53. | :26:14. | |
now. It a evening for your team. No, it was a good evening! Of course | :26:15. | :26:24. | |
after the first match, when we drew at the end of the match, tonight | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
Tottenham deserved to win and were better than us but I am very pleased | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
with us because imagine, Tottenham, I came here in 2000, and they were | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
building a team to fight to go in Europe. And I think in the last ten | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
years, every year, they achieved this. And now they are building to | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
achieve the top four, to go into the Champions League, and our journey | :26:51. | :26:59. | |
started today, and we fought with them coming four matches, we won | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
one, and we drew, and it was good, I think we took an amazing step. Dare | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
I say that you are not overly disappointed by being out of the FA | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
Cup considering your team's position in the league? Yes but our priority | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
is the Premier League. In the FA Cup, I wanted to see all my players, | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
and they have played the maximum and I am very, very pleased with their | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
performance. Commiserations, thank you for your time. A lot of | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
tinkering this evening. Claudio Ranieri, and too soon? LAUGHTER it | :27:38. | :27:45. | |
is more important for Leicester to click on in the Premier League and | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
see how far they can go. It is so extraordinary, what has happened | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
this season you can understand why they would be they would be happy... | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
Tottenham would want to be in that position, the way this season is | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
going! With the games they've got coming. As for Tottenham, making | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
good progress. A lot of positive things today. That changes, Eric | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
Dier at centre-half, rather than midfield, the performance of Son | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
Heung-min... Been impressed by Pochettino and what he's done? Very | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
much so. He's got that squad together now, barring serious | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
injuries to their major players, they can be a real force in the next | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
