Seven goals were scored at White Hart Lane as Tottenham completed an incredible 4-3 comeback victory against a spirited Wycombe in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Spurs fans thought the match would be a “walk in the park” – except it wasn’t. At least not in the first half of the game, with the League Two team leading 0-2 at the interval, courtesy of a double by captain Paul Hayes.
Classic example that pre match everyone thought Spurs against Wycombe Wanderers was a walk inb the park. Not the case 0-2 so far

Then relief came in the forms of Son Heung-min and substitute Vincent Janssen as Spurs finally got level, 65 minutes into the game.

But that feeling of euphoria didn’t last long when 18 minutes later Garry Thompson crushed their hearts, taking Wycombe’s goal count to three against Tottenham’s two.

Can't believe spurs won 4-3 ??

However, long-time Spurs fan Lord Sugar was a bit sceptical…
4-3 Spurs can you believe that. You have to feel for Wycombe .Spurs did not play well .
— Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) January 28, 2017
But you have to admit, Wycombe did put up a strong fight…
Class from Wycombe. A great game and a tough fight. https://t.co/vPO3RGsi6q
