Middlesbrough matchwinner James Coburn floating after Spurs FA Cup shock

Middlesbrough matchwinner James Coburn was floating after their FA Cup shock against Tottenham.

Coburn couldn't hide his joy after the game.

"In front of the Riverside Stadium, it cannot get better than that against a Premier League team," the 19-year-old told BBC Sport.

"I hit it as hard as I could and thankfully it went in. Just amazing. I can't put it into words.

"All the lads are buzzing. The fans are getting behind the players too. Hopefully we can continue it and get another big team in the next round."

Alan Shearer, on punditry duty at the Riverside...

"This was no fluke, Boro were the better team from start to finish," said Shearer.

"Chris Wilder can be so proud of his team. The crowd were up for it, the players were up for it. Spurs were so flaky, typical Tottenham."
