The linesman had indicated it should be a corner after George Clawley saved a shot from Walter Bennett however the referee over-ruled him for and pointed to the centre circle indicating it had been a goal. The reply which both teams wanted to be played at Villa Park, was instead played at Bolton where Tottenham won 3–1.
