Norwich Player Ratings: Tottenham​ (A)

Norwich progressed to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Wednesday after beating Tottenham on penalties.

Spurs took an early lead through Jan Vertonghen’s cushioned header. Giovani Lo Celso put a beautiful ball to the back post where the Belgian centre back had an easy task to bag his first goal of the term in the FA Cup.

After that, the game was very end-to-end before the Canaries took control in the final moments of the first half.

In the second 45, Daniel Farke’s side dominated until they finally equalised through a scruffy Josip Drmic finish. Kenny McLean struck straight at Michel Vorm from outside the box and the Dutchman spilt the ball into the path of Drmic who had a simple task of bundling home.

For the final ten minutes, Spurs dominated and came very close to the winner but they couldn’t find one. Extra time was very equal with fatigue becoming a big part of the game.

Then came penalties, or as Norwich fans have been saying, Tim Krul’s time. Norwich missed their first penalty and Spurs scored it and it was looking like another penalty shootout disappointment.

But after two saves by Krul and the Canaries scoring the next three, they progressed to the next round.

With that in mind, here are our player ratings…
