Rochdale 2-2 Spurs - Mauricio's reaction

Related Topics: Lucas Moura, EFL League Two, Rochdale

Just like League Two side Newport in the previous round, we were pushed all the way by lower-league opposition.

Like Newport, Rochdale, currently at the foot of League One, took the lead with Ian Henderson on target late in the first half. Just like Newport, we fought back in the second half and levelled when Lucas Moura marked his first start with a first Spurs goal on the hour.

That’s where the similarities end though. It finished 1-1 at Newport but we forged into the lead at Spotland with just two minutes remaining when Harry Kane converted from the penalty spot only for Dale to snatch an equaliser in added time through Steve Davies.
