Arsenal loanee aims subtle Tottenham dig after Middlesbrough upset

Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun has aimed a subtle dig at north London rivals Tottenham after he helped Middlesbrough knock them out of the FA Cup. 

Boro beat Manchester United on penalties to set up a home tie against Spurs in the fifth round and picked up another Premier League scalp on Tuesday evening, with teenager Josh Coburn’s extra-time goal securing their place in the quarter-finals.

Balogun came off the bench to replace Duncan Watmore after 75 minutes and was inches away from setting up a second for the Teessiders in the dying embers of the second half of extra time.

In the end, one goal was enough for the Championship side to produce another FA Cup upset and allowed the 20-year-old, who joined on loan from Arsenal in January, to aim a subtle dig at his parent club’s north London rivals.

Big result against familiar rivals
