A replay, yet another match in an already packed season, seems the apt punishment for Tottenham's maddening performance in the 2-2 FA Cup draw with Leicester City.
In their last two fixtures, against Everton and Leicester City respectively, Spurs have utterly dominated their opposition for an hour and come away with just one goal on each occasion.
In the league fixture at Goodison Park, that wastefulness consigned them to a 1-1 draw. At home in the FA Cup, it almost meant yet another early-round exit.
Both matches should have been won easily.
