FT
FULL-TIME! Tottenham emerge as winners at the Riverside Stadium, surviving a late rally from Boro. Heung-Min Son first-half double proves to be difference!
90'+4
Nkoudou fires a shot way over the target and there are just moments remaining...
90'+3
Spurs have a corner, which they unsurprisingly play short. They're holding the ball in the corner and time is running out for the hosts.
90'
Boro have FIVE minutes to find an equaliser!
86'
Technical problems! Anyway, Spurs have made two changes - Nkoudou replaces Eriksen and Winks takes the place of Janssen. Oh, and Traore has gone into the referee's book.
81'
The danger man.
81'
The danger man.
80'
Middlesbrough make their third and final change as Adam Forshaw replaces Clayton. It's certainly an attacking change as Boro continue to probe for the equaliser. Time is running out but you feel the hosts will have at least one more opportunity.
79'
Boro have a corner now as Traore's cross is blocked. You can barely hear yourself think inside the Riverside Stadium!
76'
CHANCE! Rhodes should probably score on his first Premier League appearance! He meets a deep cross from Downing but he can't get enough on the connect to glide the ball past Lloris. Boro won't get many better opportunities.
74'
Traore looks extremely dangerous each time he picks up the ball and his pace is scaring the wit out of the Spurs defenders. However, once again his final ball lets him down as he overhits a pass aimed for Rhodes.
73'
Mauricio Pochettino certainly looks nervous as he prowls the technical area and the injury to Sissoko won't have made him feel any better.
71'
Boro look like a new team in recent minutes and they sense they can find an equaliser now. There are just fewer than 20 minutes to play - can they do it?
69'

Indeed, Lamela comes on for the injured Sissoko who looks quite groggy as he leaves the pitch.
68'
Sissoko appears to be feeling the after-effects of a challenge from Gibson and is down receiving treatment. He is going to be replaced with Erik Lamela preparing to come on.
67'
STAT! Middlesbrough have lost only once in their last 11 home Premier League games against Spurs (1-2 in April 2007).
66'
Tottenham have looked so comfortable throughout today's contest but that goal really gives them something to think about. The introduction of Traore, a summer signing from Aston Villa, has changed the game.
65'
GOAL! Middlesbrough 1-2 Tottenham - Boro have a goal back and suddenly, it's game on! Spurs concede a soft free-kick in their own half, Downing swings the ball in and it's the defender Gibson who rises highest to head the ball into the back of the net.
63'
Boro are throwing caution to the wind in search of a goal but they need to be careful as Spurs are so ever dangerous on the counter. They almost grab a third goal but Alli sees his effort from the edge of the penalty area just wide of the target.
