Kick-off for the FA Cup third round tie between Tottenham and Tamworth was delayed as players attempted to fix a problem with the goal netting.

Ange Postecoglou’s side travelled to The Lamb Ground on Sunday with 96 league places separating them from their National League opposition.

After a hole was spotted in netting in the roof of the goal, Tamworth players leapt into action to resolve the issue.

Goalkeeper Jas Singh was the first to attempt to resolve the problem, before Beck-Ray Enoru clambered onto a team-mate’s shoulders to make the necessary repairs with a roll of tape.

In addition to turning out for the fifth-tier side, Enoru spends his weekdays working as a assistant at the clothing retailer Zara.
