McClaren frustrated as Mido earns Spurs point
Boro, who had led at half-time courtesy of a double from Nigerian striker Aiyegbeni Yakubu, looked set for victory when Franck Queudrue crashed a 69th-minute header home off the underside of Paul Robinson's crossbar.
But it was Spurs who were left rueing the best chance of victory with Jermain Defoe springing the Boro offside trap in the 88th minute only to shoot straight at advancing keeper Mark Schwarzer.
