Tottenham booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win over Championship side Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.

After only managing a 1-1 draw in their first encounter, Jose Mourinho’s men held on for victory in this third-round replay.

Giovani Lo Celso handed the hosts an early goal after striking on two minutes from close range. Fellow Argentine Erik Lamela doubled the lead 13 minutes later after weaving his way through the Middlesbrough defence.

The visitors enjoyed a number of chances, forcing goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga into preventative action on a number of occasions, before George Saville’s late effort offered Jonathan Woodgate’s side fleeting hope of a comeback.

So how did the hosts fare? See the gallery below for our player ratings.

1/11 Paulo Gazzaniga - 7

Showed a calm head under pressure. Delivered when called upon (obviously excluding the late goal...) Made a good save off a Middlesbrough free-kick in the 54th minute. Spurs would have been trouble without his efforts.

2/11 Japhet Tanganga - 7

Another mature performance from the youngster. Largely solid at the back and even came close to scoring with a fizzed effort across goal. Threatening going forward down the flank, but could have perhaps done better for Middlesbrough's goal. Still, plenty of positives to take from this.

3/11 Davinson Sanchez - 5

Misplaced pass early on almost saw Tottenham concede what would have been a very sloppy goal. Occasionally struggled with Middlesbrough’s front line, too. Not his finest performance in a Spurs shirt.

4/11 Jan Vertonghen - 6

Marshalled the backline well and asserted him against Middlesbrough’s front line. Mopped up the mistakes of those around him.

5/11 Ryan Sessegnon - 7

Threatened with a chance on 25 minutes after some brilliant interplay and a surging run into the box. Intelligent in his decision-making. Bright display from the youngster.

6/11 Eric Dier - 6

The most Eric Dier imaginable. As you were.

7/11 Harry Winks - 7

Up to his usual tricks, twisting and turning in the centre of the park, providing that initial spark to get Spurs’ attacks moving. Bit clumsy here and there, but a solid night.

8/11 Giovani Lo Celso - 7

Scored Tottenham’s opener with a composed finish from close range. Lively for much of the match. Offered Tottenham plenty in the final third through his positioning and darting runs.

9/11 Christian Eriksen - 6

Very routine performance from the Dane. Nothing out of the ordinary.

10/11 Erik Lamela - 7

Showed great talent to weave his way past Middlesbrough’s defence before calmly slotting home Spurs’ second. Quiet at times after that.

11/11 Lucas Moura - 7

The little pulsing heartbeat to Tottenham’s attack. Frequently cut through Middlesbrough with his mazy runs and tricky feet. Came close to scoring on occasion, too. Put in a good shift in all.
