Tim Krul was the hero by saving two penalties as Norwich beat Tottenham in a shootout after a 1-1 draw to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 28 years.
Norwich were on the back foot in the penalty shootout when Kenny McLean's first kick was saved by Michel Vorm, but Erik Lamela hit the crossbar for Spurs with Troy Parrott and Gedson Fernandes seeing their efforts pushed away by Krul.
Tottenham had actually taken the lead early on through Jan Vertonghen, as the Belgium defender rose highest to powerfully head in from Giovani lo Celso's superb cross.
But they were forced back by Norwich as the visitors caused plenty of problems - Emiliano Buendia and Lukas Rupp both forcing stand-in goalkeeper Vorm into making sharp saves.
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho: "I think we don't deserve the result but that's football. As you can expect it was a difficult game, as I could expect some of my players were really, really in trouble and they made an incredible effort to try.
