Middlesbrough 1-0 Tottenham: Josh Coburn sends Championship side into FA Cup quarter-finals

Substitute Josh Coburn scored a fine winner in extra time as Middlesbrough stunned Tottenham to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Middlesbrough beat Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford to reach this stage and Wilder said there was no chance of him resting players for the occasion, with opposite number Conte also naming the same Spurs side that beat Leeds 4-0 on Saturday.

The Italian is hoping to guide Spurs to a first trophy since they won the League Cup in 2008 but his side lacked the ruthlessness displayed at Elland Road against a well-drilled team who seemed to grow in confidence the longer they kept their top-flight visitors at bay.

Matt Doherty beat goalkeeper Joe Lumley to the ball out wide on the Spurs right, but could not loop an effort into the empty net from the best chance of the first half.

Middlesbrough midfielder Crooks scored in the fourth-round win over Manchester United and had a glorious chance to put the hosts in front after the break but headed over from Jonny Howson's in-swinging corner.
