LONDON: Lowly Rochdale scored deep into stoppage time to deny Tottenham Hotspur victory as their FA Cup fifth-round tie ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw on Sunday.
It seemed Spurs had done enough to book their place in the quarter-finals when in-form England striker Harry Kane, on as a substitute, scored from the penalty spot with two minutes of normal time remaining to make it 2-1 to the visitors.
But Rochdale, who had opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time, equalised when substitute Steve Davies scored from 12 yards in the third minute of stoppage time.
Rochdale's equaliser in added time ensured the League One basement side of a prestigious and lucrative replay at Wembley - London club Tottenham's temporary home while their successor ground to White Hart Lane is completed.
The winner will face Swansea or Sheffield Wednesday in the quarter-final.

Rochdale approached this tie the right way and were rewarded accordingly. There was guile and, at the end, genuine grit. The replay will be a proper hassle for Spurs, with all their games, but that's their problem.
Ian Henderson put bottom-of-the-table Rochdale, 64 places below Tottenham on the league ladder, in front with a low shot on the stroke of halftime.
The London club, which made 11 changes to the team that held Juventus to a 2-2 away draw in the Champions League midweek, pressed to little effect until Lucas Moura marked his debut with the equaliser in the 59th minute.
Just as Rochdale's dreams of a trip to Spur's temporary Wembley home seemed to be over, substitute Steve Davies drove in a last-gasp goal to the delight of the Spotland crowd.
