Tottenham fans have ripped into their own club after they battled their way to a hard-fought 3-0 win over Tamworth in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
The north London giants went into the showdown as the overwhelming favourites to go through.
But they had to wait 100 minutes to break the deadlock, with Nathan Tshikuna bundling the ball into his own net while being pressured by Dominic Solanke - with Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson then scoring as well.
Tottenham were eventually able to close the match out, with Tamworth hearts broken after a spirited display in Staffordshire.

And though the north London giants were able to advance to the fourth round of the competition, fans commenting on social media were less than impressed.
"About time. This has been a disgrace. Taken 100 minutes for us to score the scrappiest goal against a Conference Team. So harsh on Tamworth. Let’s just finish this game and forget it ever even existed. Wouldn’t surprise me if Tamworth go and get a goal now knowing us. COYS," one user wrote when the goal went in.
A second raged: "100+ minutes to score *that* goal against Tamworth. Shambolic showing today regardless of end result."

Despite the difference in divisions, it was Tamworth who started brighter.
The searing speed of Beck-Ray Besongbap Enoru, who works in Zara in his day job, caused chaos with the winger's ball clawed over the bar by Antonin Kinsky.
A throw-in from Tom Tonks caused Spurs an issue, too, with the ball hitting the post while players tussled inside the box.
