Tottenham Hotspur were rocked on Tuesday night by Championship side Middlesbrough, who knocked them out of the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory.
Middlesbrough’s Josh Coburn was the hero, scoring early in the second half of extra time to give Middlesbrough a thrilling victory over Tottenham.
Boro have eliminated numerous top-flight clubs as a second-tier side in the same campaign for the first time since 1991-92, to progress to the FA Cup quarter-finals.
