Middlesbrough 1-1 Spurs

at the Riverside

MIDDLESBROUGH stretched their unbeaten run to five games as they earned an FA Cup replay with Tottenham Hotspur in a 1-1 draw at the Riverside today.

Lucas Moura’s header cancelled out Ashley Fletcher’s opener in a tight game and the visitors will be particularly disappointed that they couldn’t bounce back from defeat at Southampton on New Year’s Day.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho admitted he relished the “real cup” atmosphere, despite failing to get the win he felt his side deserved.
