The FA Cup, in which professional and amateur teams belonging to the Football Association all come together to determine the strongest, is a single-plate tournament, so even the top league teams are often caught by the lower league teams.
Tottenham of the English Premier League (EPL), who played in the 4th round (final of 32) of the FA Cup in the 2020-2021 season held at High Wickham Adams Park in England on the 26th, also played a difficult match. The second division’s Wickham Wanderers was the opponent, but rather, they were dragged away with the opening goal in the 25th minute. The 1.5 army lineup, excluding the core, such as Son Heung-min (29) and Harry Kane, could not withstand Wickham’s counterattack. Gareth Bale managed to score an equalizer in the extra time in the first half, but until the end of the second half, he couldn’t make a 1-1 final blow and continued the uneasy match.
Such Tottenham eventually showed off the strong side and ended the game with a 4-1 win. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Son Heung-min was introduced and the atmosphere of the game changed dramatically. Four minutes after the input, the shot from the left flank shakes the opponent’s defense and then the shot slightly missed the goal, but from this the sharpness of the entire attacking team of Tottenham was revived. In the end, the winning goal that was waiting for in the 41st minute of the second half came. Midfielder Harry Winks shook the net with a mid-range shot with a left-footed kick in a close-quarter situation.
Tottenham scored two more goals at the end of the game and ended up winning. In particular, Son Heung-min scored the 10th assist of the season with the third goal, which was scored in the 42nd minute of the second half. After breaking through to the left, the pass was handed over to Tangwi Ndombele, who was lurking in front of the goal area, and Ndombele finished with a non-stop shot. In the 48th minute of the second half, Ndombele scored a multi-goal with a right-footed shot, past two defenders from the left side of the goal area.
Tottenham, who struggled to defeat Wickham, continued to challenge themselves to win the FA Cup in 30 years after the 1990-1991 season. Tottenham will play in the round of 16 against EPL’s Everton next month.
