Tottenham Hotspur v Middlesbrough Match Report, 1/14/20

Tottenham pulled out of their recent slump to book an FA Cup fourth-round place with a 2-1 replay victory over Middlesbrough.

Jonathan Woodgate, the former Spurs defender, saw his team take the lead and battle to a 1-1 draw at the Riverside Stadium 10 days ago but they were the architects of their own downfall in north London.

Giovani Lo Celso and Erik Lamela were the respective first-half beneficiaries of poor errors from Boro goalkeeper Tomas Mejias and captain Jonny Howson.

Jose Mourinho's men travel to Southampton in the round of 32, having lost the Premier League version of that fixture 1-0 on New Year's Day, despite Boro substitute George Saville setting up a grandstand finish.
