First Manchester United and now Tottenham. Second-tier Middlesbrough is toppling some of English soccer’s biggest clubs in its FA Cup run. A goal at the start of the second half of extra time earned Middlesbrough a 1-0 win over Tottenham in the fifth round of the competition.

Manchester City dispatched another second-tier team in Peterborough in a routine 2-0 victory and Crystal Palace beat Championship side Stoke 2-1. Leicester won 2-0 at Burnley in the Premier League.
