Antonio Conte's side suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on Tuesday, their last chance of ending their almost 14-year trophy drought this season.
After a 4-0 victory against Leeds on the weekend, Tottenham travelled to the Riverside Stadium in an attempt to reach the quarter-final of the cup competition.
The form since the Italian's arrival has been up and down and this inconsistency continued with Spurs' performance and result against the Championship outfit.
