FA Cup: Tottenham 1 Leicester 2

Andros Townsend's first-half penalty appeared set to send Spurs through to round five on Saturday.

However, Ulloa levelled in the 83rd minute with an emphatic finish, before Schlupp's volley squirmed under stand-in goalkeeper Michel Vorm in second-half injury time.

England international Townsend was afforded his opportunity from the spot when Liam Moore brought Roberto Soldado tumbling in the penalty area, while the visitors felt they should have had a first-half penalty of their own when Andrej Kramaric went to ground under a challenge from Vorm.

Jeffrey Schlupp's centre from the left picked out Kramaric - making his first start for the club – and the Croatian was denied by a superb point-blank save from Vorm.

Townsend slotted the resulting penalty to the right of Leicester debutant Mark Schwarzer - who at the age of 42 became the club's oldest player - and Moore's afternoon worsened when he limped off with an ankle injury.

Paulinho could also have made things more comfortable for the hosts when he shot wide after Lamela's clever cut-back from the byline.

Lamela was proving a constant threat in the second half and the Argentine forward brought the best out of Schwarzer with a bending left-footed shot.

Spurs' profligacy was punished in the 83rd minute when they failed to clear their lines at a corner and Ulloa controlled from Schlupp's ball back into the area before sweeping his shot past a helpless Vorm.

There was still another twist to come, though, as Danny Simpson's excellent cross was side-footed home by Schlupp in stoppage time - much to the delight of the travelling faithful.
