Paul Tierney endured a difficult night on Wednesday but at least he had one moment of reprieve with a Tottenham player.

The referee caused a stir at Wembley during Spurs' 6-1 FA Cup fifth-round replay win over Rochdale as VAR dominated first-half proceedings.

However, after the interval he could allow himself to smile as he shared a joke with Lucas Moura.
