Mendieta and Schwarzer steer Boro through

Middlesbrough 0 Everton 0 (Aet, Middlesbrough win 5-4 on penalties)

Mendieta kept his nerve at the end of a dramatic penalty shoot-out to convert his side’s final kick against Everton after Schwarzer had blocked substitute Leon Osman’s effort with his legs.

Their reward is a trip to Tottenham in the last eight and a chance to rekindle the memories of the club’s League Cup adventures under former boss Bryan Robson.
