Teenage substitute Josh Coburn scored the winning goal in extra time for Middlesbrough, which knocked out Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup.
“I’m speechless! In front of the Riverside Stadium, it cannot get better than that against a Premier League team,” the 19-year-old told BBC Sport.
“I hit it as hard as I could and thankfully it went in. Just amazing. I can’t put it into words.
“All the lads are buzzing. The fans are getting behind the players too.
Hopefully, we can continue it and get another big team in the next round.”
Former Boro defender and manager Jonathan Woodgate praised the youngster, who joined the club three years ago after being released by Sunderland.
“It is a special moment for Josh,” he said. “Every single player was fantastic and they deserved to win.”
It is Middlesbrough’s second Premier League scalp in a row, having beaten Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford to reach this stage.
“The supporters gave us the energy to produce a top performance,” said boss Chris Wilder.
“We are delighted be in the next round, I would love it to be a home tie. A great reward for everybody who has followed this club.
“We want to make memories. We had one at Old Trafford and I believe we have had one in our own stadium, which is brilliant.”
Middlesbrough have now knocked Manchester United and Tottenham out of the FA Cup
Middlesbrough captain Jonny Howson produced a man-of-the-match performance and the veteran midfielder said afterward this was another victory to impress his young son.
“We knew it was going to be tough physically and they have world-class players who can move the ball around and make you work hard,” said the 33-year-old.
“Beating Manchester United gave us confidence – enjoy it, give it a right good go and see what happens. If they turned us over with quality you can hold your hands up but we applied ourselves right. You see what happens in this competition and we have another upset.
“Moments like this don’t come around often so you have to enjoy it when they do.
“My little lad Harry has got into football recently. I was playing against Cristiano Ronaldo and he said you’ll never beat Ronaldo’s team. Now Harry Kane as well, so I can tell him we have beaten them too.”
