Marine manager Neil Young says drawing Jose Mourinho's Tottenham in the FA Cup is a fitting reward for the eighth-tier side's run to the third round.

Northern Premier League Division One side Marine will host Premier League leaders Tottenham in the third round of the FA Cup.

Marine became only the second side from the eighth tier to reach the third round after beating Havant & Waterlooville after extra-time on Sunday.

Holders Arsenal begin their campaign at home to Newcastle while Aston Villa will host Liverpool in another all-Premier League tie, with all third round fixtures scheduled to be played on the weekend of January 8-11 2021.

Twelve-time winners Manchester United will host Championship side Watford at Old Trafford, while last season's runners-up Chelsea host League Two Morecambe.

National League side Boreham Wood, who won 3-0 at Canvey Island on Monday evening, will face Millwall at home.

"We're one of the lowest teams still in it, everyone is looking forward to it. Cheers went out in the houses around the ground, it was crazy.

"We're a fairly young team, they've enjoyed it, to draw Tottenham out of the hat is just unbelievable."
