📊 Spurs equal unflattering FA Cup statistic with ET against Tamworth
Ange Postecoglou will no doubt once again be hanging his head in frustration on the touchline as Tottenham labour against non-league outfit Tamworth.
Currently at 0-0 after heading into extra-time, one shocking stat has emerged that perhaps encapsulates the current situation in north London for the Australian headmaster.
After failing to find the back of the net across 90 minutes of action, Spurs have become just the fourth Premier League outfit that has needed bonus football against a club outside of the league pyramid.
4 - Tottenham are only the fourth Premier League side (from 92-93) to be taken to extra-time in an FA Cup game against a non-league club, after Leicester v Hereford in 99-00, Charlton v Dagenham and Redbridge in 00-01, and West Ham v Kidderminster in 21-22. Precarious. pic.twitter.com/joGyaAWfDX

They join Leicester City, Charlton, and West Ham United with that unfortunate honour.
Is the clock about to hit midnight?
