Tottenham Hotspur will have to contend with an FA Cup third-round replay back in north London after they struggled to see off Championship outfit Middlesbrough at the Riverside stadium.

Lucas Moura's second-half header salvaged a 1-1 draw after Boro striker Ashley Fletcher had opened the scoring in the 50th minute with an excellent slotted finish.

Jose Mourinho named a full-strength side bare the absence of Harry Kane, who faces a lengthy period of time out after sustaining a tear to his left hamstring.

Spurs fans were far from pleased with their display as many took to social media to share their thoughts.

Long-serving centre-back Jan Vertonghen was one player singled out for criticism with plenty of supporters believing his career at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium was coming to an end with him being labelled as 'finished' by many...

The 32-year-old's performance was also described as 'shocking' and 'dreadful' as he played the entire duration of the match on the left-hand side of a back three.

At times, Vertonghen appeared to be settling into a left-back role with Ryan Sessegnon often bombing up the pitch, and this has led to some members of the travelling support singling out his lack of pace...

One claimed the Belgian looked like he was running in tar while another added that he runs like he's towing a caravan.

Again, the belief that he was finished in the Premier League was mentioned.

Vertonghen has featured in over 300 matches for Spurs since joining the club from Ajax in 2012 and with his current contract due to expire in the summer, other fans have been discussing whether or not he should be offered a new deal.

It's fair to say that many appear to be on the same wavelength...

Some supporters went as far as suggesting that he should be sold this month with one member of the Spurs faithful calling him out for costing them so many matches this season.

While former boss Mauricio Pochettino was praised for dropping him earlier in the season before he was sacked...

Mourinho will have to battle with another fixture this month, but at the very least, Spurs are in the hat for the fourth round with the draw taking place on Monday evening before their arch-rival's Arsenal face Leeds United.
