Norwich hero Krul knew every Spurs stars' penalties due to clever bottle trick

Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul kept out Tottenham’s Gedson Fernandes to send his side to the FA Cup quarter-finals in a penalty shootout.

The Dutchman saved Gedson Fernandes’ weak strike to win the shootout for a place in the quarter-finals against Manchester United or Derby.

Jose Mourinho's side went ahead through Jan Vertonghen but a Michel Vorm error allowed Jospi Drmic to sneak the ball in.

And the man famed for his heroics in the shootout saw Norwich prevail in north London.

Images from Twitter, though, show Krul had done his homework for the decider.

Ahead of the penalties, the Dutchman was seen looking at his bottle.

This is because he had detailed how every Spurs player would take their shot from the spot.

Next to the names with either R (right), L (left) or Stand (down the middle).

And the 31-year-old was not far off the mark with his predictions:

Eric Dier - R (The midfielder went left and Krul followed him but it was too much for the goalkeeper)

Eric Lamela - L (Spurs’ forward missed as his shot hit the upright)

Giovanni Lo Celso - L (The Argentine went left and found the net)

Troy Parrott - R (Mourinho’s youngster went right – but Krul read the shot and saved it)

Gedson Fernandes - Stand (The January signing delayed his run-up which took power out of the shot and Krul was able to jump for it to win the tie)
