Middlesbrough are breaking the pools by knocking out big teams. This time, the Championship side's victim was Antonio Conte's Tottenham, who are struggling to improve under the Italian.
Mahrez and Grealish overcome defiant Peterborough
Boro had already eliminated Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford and now, at home to Tottenham, they took on another Top Six team in the Premier League.
Chris Wilder, coach of the home team, knew what he was up against and went out onto the field to play his best soccer. He fielded his best possible eleven and they never gave up against Spurs, who could not break through the defensive barrier.
On the other hand, Tottenham came out with their best offensive arsenal, with Harry Kane up front and accompanied by his best partner on the pitch Heung-Min Son and also by the Swiss Kulusevski, who has done a great job since he arrived at the London team.
Despite fielding a quality eleven, Conte's side succumbed to Middlesbrough, who were effective and tidy at the back.
Joe Lumley, along with young Joshua Coburn were the heroes of the match. The home team's goalkeeper made great saves when called upon, both when the score was tied and when they took the lead.
Meanwhile, Joe Cuborn came on in the first overtime, exactly at the 96th minute in place of Sporar, the team's starting striker. The youngster came on with all his heart and settled the game after a pass from Crooks on the right flank, which left him in front of Hugo Lloris to shoot past the French goalkeeper.
Thus, Middlesbrough is the team that is surprising in the oldest competition in history. They have advanced to the quarterfinals and will await the draw to find out who their next opponent is.
On the other hand, Antonio Conte has another failure as Tottenham manager and has a lot to work on and improve with the North London team.
Rangnick's days as Manchester United manager are numbered, which coach will take his place?
