League One Rochdale takes Man Utd to penalties but Premier League side reaches next round.
Just a day after Colchester United knocked out Champions League finalists from League Cup.
After all the ridicule North London club had to face from their rivals and the whole footballing world, it seems to be the turn of one of the most successful English teams in both domestic and European competitions.
If North London clubs memes are to go by then we are in for a night of comedy from rival players to Non- League clubs everyone had fun last night.
From the like on a comment by Aubameyang on his Instagram by a fan to the following tweet from the Non-League club, it was a night for the white side of North London that they wish never happened.
Winning against Colchester United isn’t for everyone @SpursOfficial…. https://t.co/HKOIgcYRWN
