Anthony O'Connor gutted as Morecambe's giant-killing bid falls short at Spurs

It was only after the 69th-minute introduction of Harry Kane and Lucas Moura that Tottenham finally threatened Morecambe's goal, and both hit the net after Harry Winks equalised 15 minutes from time.

Cork's Anthony O'Connor came within his own 15 minutes of fame as Morecambe threatened to humiliate Tottenham on their own turf before Antonio Conte's late cavalry charge saw off the League One side.

Morecambe captain O'Connor, 29, led by example and gave his side the lead when he turned in Alfie McCalmont's corner in the 33rd minute, and right up to the 75th minute there was a real chance of one of the FA Cup greatest upsets unfolding in this futuristic stadium.
