Mou criticises FA Cup ball: "It's a beach ball"

Tottenham will have to come through an FA Cup replay after being held to a draw at Middlesbrough, who almost knocked out Spurs. Lucas Moura had to come to the rescue for the North Londoners in the third round game. 

Although the Portuguese thinks "it's not an excuse", for him, the ball had an effect on the game. He believes it made things difficult for Tottenham. 

"I think it's a beach ball. It's too light and it doesn't help the players," the Tottenham coach said in the post-match press conference. 

The ball, Mitre Delta Max FA Cup football, costs 135 euros for the general public, but for Mou, it was not good enough to be used for the cup tie between Middlesbrough and Tottenham.
