The decision to start Antonin Kinsky against Tamworth was made in order to get Tottenham’s new signing another valuable 90 minutes under his belt ahead of the North London Derby on Wednesday.
What no one expected was quite how involved in proceedings the 21-year-old would turn out to be, or that his concentration would be needed for all of 120 minutes, as the non-league side took Tottenham to extra-time before Spurs pulled away to win 3-0 in Sunday’s FA Cup third round tie at the Lamb Ground.
