Kick-off delayed in Tottenham vs Tamworth as players from the National League side attempt to fix the goal netting with TAPE prior to FA Cup clash

Kick-off for the FA Cup third round tie between Tottenham and Tamworth was delayed as players tried to solve a problem with the goal net.

Ange Postecoglou’s side traveled to The Lamb Ground on Sunday, with 96 league places between them and their National League opponents.

After a hole in the mesh in the roof of the goal was noticed, Tamworth players sprang into action to fix the problem.

Goalkeeper Jas Singh was the first to try to fix the problem, before Beck-Ray Enoru clambered onto a teammate’s shoulders to make the necessary repairs with a roll of tape.

Besides competing for the fifth level, Enoru spends his weekdays as an assistant at clothing store Zara.

When the problem was sufficiently resolved and after a delay of several minutes, the match finally started in the third round.
