Spurs are eliminated following a goal conceded in extra time.
Incredible but true. After eliminating Manchester United in the previous round, Middlesbrough this time released Tottenham fromAntonio Conte this Tuesday evening in the FA Cup.
The Spurs thought they would open the scoring via Harry Kanebut his goal was canceled for offside.
Boro was solid, and their keeper Joe Lumley saved the furniture. Both teams were still 0-0 following 90 minutes.
