Tottenham crashed again, this Tuesday in the round of 16 of the English Cup, losing 1-0 in extra time against Middlesbrough (second division), while Manchester City and Crystal Palace sealed their place in the quarterfinals.
Down the drain after losing at Burnley (1-0) six days ago, and fully relaunched by crushing Leeds (4-0) on Saturday, Spurs blew their last shot at a title this season.
His task was not easy against a Middlesbrough team that had just eliminated Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford.
And the ‘Boro’ confirmed that he knows how to be at the level of ‘Big 6’ teams in one game.
The winning goal, in extra time (107), was the work of Josh Coburn, a 19-year-old youth squad player who had jumped onto the pitch in the 95th minute.
Before that, Manchester City fulfilled what he expected against Peterborough (D2), who despite having defended well at no time gave the impression of being able to eliminate the Premier League leader.
In this match in which Fernandinho left the captain’s armband to the Ukrainian Oleksander Zinchenko, in a gesture of solidarity with the country that is suffering from a Russian invasion, it was necessary to wait an hour of play to see the first goal, the work of Riyad Mahrez.
Seven minutes later Jack Grealish doubled the lead after a great check (67).
And Crystal Palace, the other Premier team that played this Tuesday in the Round of 16, defeated Stoke 2-1, also from the second division.

An alarming fact in Guaraní at the beginning of the season was the lack of goals, something that only came last week when they beat América Mineiro in Brazil for the Copa Libertadores. A reflection of the low goalscoring production is the moment of Fernando Fernández, an idol of the club that is on the decline.
“Fer-fer” has not scored more for 10 games, counting the last games of the last Clausura, the Apertura and the first cup game of this 2022. What did the striker say about it?
“Don’t worry about that, streaks like this usually happen and you have to work twice as hard to get the goals, I know that at some point that ends,” assured the “cheese” at a press conference.
Fernández’s last goal with the Guaraní shirt was on October 24, 2021, when he scored 2 goals against Olimpia for the Clausura tournament. The striker is the top scorer in the history of the aurinegro, with one hundred goals scored.
“We have to go out and propose because we know how they play. My position depends on the coach. I’m calm, sometimes you have this streak of not scoring. Winning in Brazil helped a lot for the mood” Fernando Fernández, player of #Guaraní #VersusRadio pic.twitter.com/6gKENi5Ic4

Adama Noss Traoré and Dramané Diarra are two young African soccer players who landed in Cerro Porteño at the end of January this year from Mali. A Spanish DT, named Juan Diego González, was the one who accompanied them on this adventure to Paraguay.
“They came through an exchange with the group that made the transfer of Santiago Arzamendia. They came with the idea of working with them and later being able to be in the main team,” said Diego Gavilán, DT of the “Ciclón” Sub 19, to VERSUS radio on 970AM.
Both Traoré and Diarra are part of the Barça team’s Sub 19 team, the second being the one that is performing best, as explained by “Pamperito”.
“They are boys who have significant potential and are in a group of boys who are doing a special job to get to the First Division. They are in the process of adapting, one is adapting faster,” he commented. In principle, the stay is on loan for one year. “We’ll see what happens later.”
Adama Noss Traoré is a center forward and speaks English, so he is the one Diego Gavilán communicates with the most in training, taking advantage of the knowledge of the language that the former Paraguayan soccer player acquired when he played for Newcastle United in the Premier League.
“Diarra is a left winger, of very good size. He only speaks French. The size he has, the strength he has, is not usual for a left winger,” he said.
The two African players live in the Azulgrana Park, in Ypané, and are very loved by their teammates.
“Both are very respectful, they are very loved by their teammates, for me it is a satisfaction to have them with me. We have to be empathic with them too. It is not easy to go from one continent to another. They remind me when I had to travel to England” , Held.
