TOTTENHAM are out of the FA Cup at the fifth round stage.
Josh Coburn gave Middlesbrough an extra time victory on what has been a miserable night for Spurs
Harry Kane did have the ball in the net during the match, but his goal was ruled out for offside.
That wraps it up from a dramatic night.
The FA Cup sixth round proper draw will take place on Thursday 3 March, ahead of the fifth round tie between Everton and Boreham Wood.
The quarter-final will be played between Friday 18 March and Monday 21 March.
Hopefully we’ll have even more drama in store!
ANTONIO CONTE
The Tottenham manager’s reaction: “For sure the result is not good and we have to be frustrated. It was a pity because in these type of game you have to start and kill your opponent. If you give them hope, they will take confidence and improve during the game. Then anything can happen.
“First of all, it is important to say that Middlesbrough played a good game, deserves respect and congratulate them for the win. We have to reflect on our performance and on the game we played. These type of games, in these trophies away from home, you have to try to kill the game quickly. Your opponent has to understand that the night will be difficult, instead we can do much better and in the end Middlesbrough deserved to go to the next round.
“This is part of our process. I repeat, we have to try to avoid the up and down up and down and there is only one way to improve the situation is to work and learn about the defeat. We have to go ahead and we will try to do our best this season.
“We have to give our best for the rest of the season, then we will see what is our position and the evaluation of our season. It is early to say something about this.”
Jonny Howson
The Middlesbrough skipper said: “It was (a shift), I felt it last few minutes. We knew it was going to be tough physically and they have world class players who can move the ball around and make you work hard. You have to work hard, earn the right to play and we showed our quality. We deserved it as well.
“Beating Manchester United gave us confidence, enjoy it and give it a right good go, see what happens. If they turned us over with quality you can hold your hands up but we applied ourselves right, you see what happens in this competition and we have another upset. Moments like this don’t come around but you have to enjoy it when they do.
“From a personal point of view, my little lad Harry has got into football. I was playing against Cristiano Ronaldo and now Harry Kane so I can tell him we have beaten them. Hopefully we don’t lose focus and performances like tonight we can take into the league.
“Age is just a number, if you look after yourself right like Sol Bamba and Lee Peltier, we have to set the standard for Josh Coburn and Isaiah Jones, hopefully we can do that for the younger generation.”

The matchwinner
Middlesbrough hero Josh Coburn: “Speechless. In front of the Riverside Stadium, cannot get better than that against a Premier League team.
“I hit it as hard as I could and thankfully it went in. Up there with the best (moment of career), just amazing. I can’t put it into words.
“In the training ground, all the lads are buzzing. The fans are getting behind the players too.
“Hopefully we can continue it and get another big team in the next round.”

Just waiting for The Riverside to stop partying first!
