'Onyedinma Is A Good Player' - Crystal Palace Icon Praises Wycombe Winger For Goal Vs Spurs

Published: January 25, 2021

Tottenham Hotspur are through to the last sixteen of the Emirates FA Cup and will travel to Liverpool to face Everton in the next round following their 4-1 win over Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park on Monday night.

Four players of Nigerian descent were included in Wycombe Wanderers matchday squad, with Fred Onyedinma and Uche Ikpeazu named in the starting lineup while Adebayo Akinfenwa and Dennis Adeniran were on the bench.

Onyedinma gave the Chairboys a dream lead with a composed finish in the 25th minute after Uche held the ball superbly, then Gareth Bale got Tottenham back level just on the stroke of half-time.

Wycombe Wanderers' brave and stubborn resistance finally came to an end in the closing minutes but only after Jose Mourinho sent in the big guns Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min and Tanguy Ndombèlé.

Three late goals, Harry Winks in the 86th minute and two from Ndombèlé in the 87th and 93rd minute, gave the north London club a 4-1 victory.

Crystal Palace legend Clinton Morrison was pleased with the combination play between Onyedinma and Ikpeazu in the build-up to Wycombe Wanderers' opener.

"Fred Onyedinma is a good player! But it's all about Uche Ikpeazu, he does ever so well," Morrison said on BBC Radio 5 Live.

"He puts a good ball into the box and that's what you want, your other striker running in to put it away. Great for Wycombe!"

Onyedinma, who also found the net in the third round vs Preston North End put in a full shift, while Ikpeazu was replaced by Akinfenwa in the 72nd minute.
