FA Cup: Nigerian Striker Inspires Middlesbrough Into Quarter-finals After Shock Win Vs Spurs

Folarin Balogun featured for Championship club Middlesbrough, who booked a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals following a shock 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur after extra-time.

Balogun, who is on loan from Arsenal, came on with 15 minutes left in the encounter.

He went close five minutes after coming on but saw his effort go narrowly wide.

In the 83rd minute he got to the byline but his pass across goal was cut out by a Spurs player.

After regulation time ended goalless the game went into extra-time, which saw Josh Coburn eventually putting Middlesbrough 1-0 ahead on 107th minute.

And in added time Middlesbrough went on the counter but Balogun’s pass was too much for Coburn to get to.

It would be recalled that Middlesbrough also eliminated Manchester United in the previous round via penalty shootout.

And in other FA Cup games, Manchester City beat Peterborough 2-0 away while Crystal Palace edged Stoke City 2-1.
