Son Heung-min capped a spirited Tottenham fightback as the South Korean’s late penalty secured a dramatic 3-2 win against Southampton in Wednesday’s FA Cup fourth-round replay.
Jose Mourinho’s side were 12 minutes away from being knocked out after squandering the first-half lead given to them by Jack Stephens’ own goal.
Tottenham, who last won the FA Cup in 1991, will host struggling Norwich in the fifth round in the first week of March. With Premier League teams enjoying a first winter break in the English top flight, this was a replay neither side wanted. Sofiane Boufal’s late equaliser saved Southampton in the initial meeting at St Mary’s after Son had put Tottenham ahead.
Ings should have equalised when he ran onto James Ward-Prowse’s pin-point pass and got to the ball ahead of the hesitant Lloris, but the in-form striker’s shot cannoned back off the bar.
