Tottenham Hotspur’s FA Cup dream is still alive thanks to a controversial penalty.
Leicester looked to be cruising to the fourth round thanks to Shinji Okazaki’s ankle-breaking solo effort, but Nathan Dyer was deemed to have handled the ball in the 89th minute after his hand made contact with it in the box.
Harry Kane buried the resulting penalty to equalise for the hosts and force a replay.
