UK Cypriot Mickey Demetriou spoke to our sports journalist Michael Yiakoumi after the game where he told the Parikiaki he thoroughly enjoyed the evening at Wembley and he thought that Newport had done very to reach so far in the FA Cup and was well satisfied with his team’s two performances against Premier League side Tottenham.
When Mickey Demetriou was asked if he was eligible to play for the Cyprus national side he said his Grandfather was from Cyprus and he would love to have the opportunity to play international football.
Mickey Demetriou put up a great performance for Newport versus Tottenham in their fourth round FA Cup tie at Wembley on Wednesday February the 7th 2018.
Tottenham, who had needed a late Harry Kane goal to force a 1-1 draw in the first game, were never troubled at the start at Wembley they scored two goals they never set the gameb alight but were comfortable.
The hosts scored after 26 minutes,when Moussa Sissoko’s cross deflected off Butler’s heel and wrong-footed keeper Joe Day on its way into the Newport net.
The lead was doubled eight minutes later when Lamela scored his first Tottenham goal since September, 2016.
Tottenham, who missed several chances in the second half with Fernando Llorente, substitute Dele Alli and Lamela the win guarantees that Spurs will travel to third-tier Rochdale in the last 16.
