Norwich boss Farke delighted with 'killer' Krul denying Spurs

Daniel Farke was full of praise for his "killer" goalkeeper Tim Krul after the penalty shootout win over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.

With the match finishing 1-1 after 120 minutes, the Canaries booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals thanks to the 3-2 shootout win.

"(Krul) really is a killer in these situations he has saved so many penalties for us," said Farke.

"Tim is so experienced and my goalkeeper coach and Michael McGovern also played a part. They will have spoken about the penalty takers.

"It is always good when you watch this tall, Dutch chap on the penalties."

The German added that he had a premonition that Norwich would win the shootout.

"I was totally convinced we would win this penalty shoot out," added Farke.

"You could sense the unity in the group. I told them, 'whatever happens, even if we have a setback, and we did after the first penalty, that at the end the yellow shirts would be celebrating'.

"The lads did not let me down. I am pretty delighted."
