5 things we learned from the FA Cup fifth round

#4 Never underestimate ‘Little Rochdale’!

Rochdale are going to Wembley!

Tottenham came from two goals down to draw at the mighty Juventus in the Champions League last week, yet they were forced to settle for a replay against Rochdale in the FA Cup on Sunday.

With the exception of new signing Lucas Moura, who looked lively right from the off, Mauricio Pochettino’s team weren’t at the races and they were lucky to go in at half-time only 1-0 down away to League One’s bottom club.

Harry Kane and Dele Alli came off the bench to turn the tie around, only for Steve Davies to snatch an equaliser in the third minute of added time, earning his side a 2-2 draw and a trip to Wembley on 28 February.

‘Little Rochdale’, as manager Keith Hill referred to his side, defied the odds against a team 63 places higher than them in the league pyramid and fully deserve another money-spinning tie against one of English football’s big boys.
