Mark Bunn showed that Norwich City have a more than able deputy to John Ruddy with an assured display against Tottenham Hotspur.
The goalkeeper won the battle of wits against Clint Dempsey to deny the striker from the spot but produced several other good stops to catch the eye.
It will be interesting to see if manager Chris Hughton keeps faith with the former Blackburn man for the quarter-final against Aston Villa.

Benchwarming "jokes" have a serious downside, Pepper. If Mark is really ambitious, why would he exchange bench-warming at Blackburn for a similar role @ Norwich? Obviously it is a Premiership bench and Norwich is a much nicer place to be than Blackburn. But understudying a younger man, to boot. It`s clear he`s a good goalkeeper, no doubt about it. Of course, there may be an agenda we are not yet privy to. See next January`s exciting episode of "The Window Is Open"?

I agree that Tettey changed the game once he came on. Fox was unfortunately not able to put in the kind of performance that means he will be pushing for a start any time soon and Tettey proved the difference in class. However, Bunn was Man Of The Match for me...A commanding performance that included 1 or 2 world class saves as well as the Penalty stop. Perhaps now some of the 'Benchwarming' jokes can stop as he proved once and for all that Rudd and Steer are not yet ready for this level.

Tettey for me - game changer. Spuds midfield went AWOL when he came on - frightened out of their skin. If another midfielder had come on Spuds would have held out!
