It looked as though substitute Harry Kane's late penalty had put Tottenham into the quarter-finals but fellow substitute Davies fired home to provoke joyous scenes at Spotland.

Rochdale, bottom of League One, can now look forward to a money-spinning replay at Tottenham's temporary Wembley home.

The lively Ian Henderson swept home on the stroke of halftime to give Rochdale a deserved led -- his sixth goal in this season's competition.

Tottenham, who also needed a replay to get past fourth-tier Newport in the previous round, dominated the second half and Lucas Moura, making his first start since joining from Paris St Germain in January, equalised on the hour.
