Spence reflects on the importance of his first Tottenham goal following Cup victory

The defender scored a crucial extra-time goal to secure victory for his team against the Championship side, ensuring they advanced to the fourth round for the first time since 2021 without the need for a penalty shootout.

“It meant a lot. It was a good feeling - especially to get the team back in the game and then the win," Spence reflected at full-time. "So, yes, the goal meant a lot. 

"The manager said just to be ready (before I came on), that was it really. Change the game and hopefully get the three points. 

"I’m happy to be in the plans. I’m happy to keep moving forward with the team. Hopefully we keep winning and we can go on from there. 

"I’m looking forward. I’ve just got to stay ready and be ready for whenever I’m called upon, like today."
