Mido returned to haunt his former club as Middlesbrough eased to a comfortable victory over Spurs at the Riverside.
Spurs dominated possession but it was Boro that created the chances and David Wheater was unfortunate to have a header ruled out for a foul.
His luck changed, though, in the second half when he bundled home the opener after Afonso Alves had hit the bar.
And substitute Mido wrapped it up as he fired in from 12 yards, before Rob Huth put through his own goal late on.
But it was of little consolation for Juande Ramos’s side after a performance lacking in incision and firepower was exposed by an effervescent Middlesbrough team.
