Boro manager Chris Wilder was delighted to receive the League Manager’s Association Performance of the Week award after the FA Cup scalp of Tottenham Hotspur.
Teenage striker Josh Coburn scored an extra-time winner to secure Wilder’s Boro side another deserved victory against Premier League opposition, and they will now face Chelsea at the Riverside in the quarter-finals.
“I’d like to thank everyone on the LMA panel who voted for us to receive this award,” said the Boro boss.
“It was a great night at the Riverside. We made some memories that will last for a long time, and this award is a nice accolade.”
The LMA panel comprises of LMA Chairman Howard Wilkinson, Sir Alex Ferguson, Joe Royle, Chris Hughton, Dave Bassett, Barry Fry and Rachel Yankey.
