A controversial penalty from Harry Kane in the 89th minute has earned Tottenham Hotspur a replay from their FA Cup third round clash with Leicester City on Sunday.
The Foxes looked to be on course to eliminate Spurs from the competition for a second consecutive season, but Kane’s 50th goal for the hosts rescued a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane.
The match was just nine minutes old when Spurs took the lead as Kasper Schmeichel could only parry Nacer Chadli’s shot into the path of Christian Eriksen, who took a touch before burying his finish into the bottom corner.
Eriksen threatened another when his dipping free kick was once again unconvincingly swatted away by Schmeichel, but it was Leicester who got the game’s second goal against the run of play moments later.
Claudio Ranieri decided to bring on Shinji Okazaki at the interval, and the sub made an immediate impact when he danced his way into the box before firing a second effort in off the post after his first had been saved by Vorm.
The visitors came even closer to a third just after the hour mark when Gray looked to mark his promising debut with a goal, sending a deflected strike inches past Vorm’s far post.
