Middlesbrough knock Tottenham out of the FA Cup

Championship Middlesbrough are through to the quarter finals of the FA Cup after defeating Premier League giants Tottenham in extra time (1-0).

It was a tense affair with very few clear chances for either side early on.

Matt Doherty had arguably the best chance of the first half as Harry Kane’s through ball enticed Joe Lumley off his line, with the Irishman beating the goalkeeper to the ball but then blazing the ball over the bar.

In the second period, Spurs began to dominate and thought they had taken the lead when Kane diverted the ball into the net from a corner, but the England captain was offside.

Kane was then played through in the closing stages of the 90 but Lumley spread himself well to deny him.

Isaiah Jones then had a good chance for the hosts three minutes from the end of normal time, but Hugo Lloris denied him. The resulting corner then saw Jonny Howson unmarked yet he was unable to head on target.

It was only in the 109th minute when the breakthrough arrived when Joshua Coburn, introduced as a substitute just seconds before, blasted the ball beyond Lloris to provide a memorable win for his side.
