Final Score: Norwich city 2 Tottenham Hotspur 1

CHRIS HUGHTON hailed the performance of Mark Bunn as the Norwich stand-in goalkeeper saved a late penalty to help defeat Tottenham and set up a Capital One Cup grudge match with Paul Lambert’s Aston Villa.

Bunn, making just his second start of the season, pulled off a number of crucial saves throughout the shock 2-1 win, but he saved his most important one for two minutes from time.

Having over-turned a onegoal deficit, Norwich stood on the brink of last eight, but their victory was put in doubt two minutes from time when Kyle Walker went down under the challenge of Marc Tierney and referee Jon Moss pointed to the spot.

Bunn dived low to his left to deny Clint Dempsey from 12 yards, however, and ensure Norwich’s passage to the last eight for the first time in 17 years.

‘‘I thought he was excellent,’’ Norwich boss Hughton said. ‘‘He is a really good goalkeeper.

‘‘Overall he showed good composure and he had good hands. The save for the penalty was fantastic. He was brave.’’ There seemed to be minimal contact between Tierney and Walker when the England right-back went to ground in the box.

‘‘I thought (Walker) certainly made a meal of it,’’ Hughton said.

Bale gave Spurs a deserved lead after 65 minutes when he drove home his second in two games from 20 yards.

But Jan Vertonghen deflected Tettey’s shot in to his own goal and Holt’s header fell into the path of Jackson after Hugo Lloris spilled the ball and the forward made no mistake from close range.
