Poor old Assou-Ekotto never gets a break.
The game wasn’t broadcast anywhere in the world, so there was no live stream and it was the first game I’ve missed this season.
Luka Modrić came on at half time and by all accounts changed the game. Within a few minutes we were one up, debutant Townsend putting the ball into the bottom corner from 20 yards. The youngster impressed in pre-season friendlies and for England under-19s.
In the 58th minute Defoe skipped past a number of Charlton defenders including Gary Doherty and slid the ball past Rob Elliot. He got a second two minutes later after another mazy run.
In the fourth round we travel to Fulham. While it’s one of the harder draws we have positive FA Cup memories at Craven Cottage. Last year we got a nil-nil draw there in the quarter-final and beat them in the replay and in 2007 we won 4-0 with superb goals from Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov.
