VIDEO: Tamworth defender takes Tottenham's millionaires for a spin! Spurs duo Timo Werner and Pape Matar Sarr embarrassed by non-league veteran Haydn Hollis during FA Cup tie

Tamworth

<p>It took Premier League side Tottenham until extra time to breach National League opponents Tamworth, a team that had failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games in all competitions before the FA Cup clash in Staffordshire. Much of their solid defending was done by Hollis, a 32-year-old with previous experience at Notts County and Forest Green. He even put on a show for the 5,000 people in the stadium by pulling out a sensational spin past Sarr and Werner, players who likely earn more in a week than Hollis does across an entire calendar year.</p>

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Those who did not watch the game may assume that Tamworth gave Tottenham's reserves a good game, but Ange Postecoglou selected a very strong starting XI. The likes of James Maddison, Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson all started, although Timo Werner was deployed as a striker and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tamworth-timo-werner-champions-league-winner-non-league-humiliation-tottenham-star-roasted-horrendous-first-half/blte6d27135640b4893#cse120066aff40b8ad" target="_blank">received some scathing reviews online for his performance. </a></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Spurs will return to their multi-million-pound training complex to rest ahead of the north London derby against Arsenal on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Tamworth players will bottle their memories of the match before returning to work on Monday morning, as they balance life in the National League alongside full-time jobs.</p>
