Tottenham 6-1 Rochdale: VAR Reaches New Levels of Controversy as Spurs Keep Trophy Hopes Alive

Despite concerns that it would be cancelled due to blistering weather conditions, Spurs hosted Rochdale at their adopted Wembley Stadium in an FA Cup fifth round replay on Wednesday night.

The north Londoners were surprisingly held to a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture at Spotland just a few weeks ago. On that night, the home side played out of their skin to earn the replay through Steve Davies' injury time equaliser as Spurs watched on bemused.

Rochdale manager Keith Hill went with the same side that faced the Premier League giants the first time around, hoping for a similar performance.
