Exiles in mood for more Cup glory.
HARRY Kane? Dele Alli? Christian Eriksson? Bring them all on, says Newport County midfielder Matty Dolan.
Conquerors of Leeds in round three, the Exiles have been rewarded with a glamour tie at home to Spurs,who earlier this season beat and drew with Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Rodney Parade, however, is a long way from the Bernabeu and Dolan reckons Newport can claim another famous scalp.
“We were confident against Leeds and we’ll be confident against Spurs,” insists the 24year-old, who came through the ranks at Middlesbrough.
Roared
“Do we expect to win? No,that would be a daft thing to say against Tottenham. They’ve got world-class players all over the place. But on our pitch, on our day, with our fans behind us, we can cause an upset against anyone.”
A weakened Leeds side discovered that the hard way on Sunday as Newport roared back from a goal down to seal victory in the 89th minute.
Sub Shawn McCoulsky’s towering header was no more than the League Two side deserved for an adventurous display that yielded 19 attempts on the visitors’ goal.
