Harry Kane scored a penalty in the closing stages to salvage a 2-2 draw for Tottenham against Leicester City in the third round of the FA Cup.
The England international was initially rested, but came off the bench after the break and proved his worth by slotting home in the 89th minute after referee Robert Madley awarded Spurs a spot-kick for Nathan Dyer's handball.
Christian Eriksen had opened the scoring for Spurs early on when he tapped home a rebound, only for Marcin Wasilewski to restore parity shortly after with a strong header.
The Denmark international threatened two more times before the break, but was denied by Kasper Schmeichel on both occasions, before Shinji Okazaki gave Leicester the lead after the break.
Kane then netted a late equaliser to prevent a repeat of last year's cup result, when Leicester knocked Tottenham out in the fourth round.
The teams will now meet in a replay to determine who progresses to the fourth round, and face off again in the Premier League at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.
