Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun clearly enjoyed Middlesbrough's latest FA Cup giant-killing.
Tuesday night saw Balogun's temporary employers seal an extra-time victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the fifth round of the world's oldest cup competition.
Boro were well worth the victory against an out-of-sorts Spurs side that suffered a fourth defeat in their last five games. Substitute Josh Coburn notched the game's only goal as Chris Wilder's side followed up their fourth round win over Manchester United.
Posting on Twitter, Gunners forward Balogun wrote: "Big result against familiar rivals" - complete with the eyes emoji.
Balogun is yet to notch his first goal for Boro but impressed after replacing Duncan Watmore on 75 minutes.

He came close to breaking the deadlock but blazed over the bar when well placed towards the end of regulation time. Balogun also caught the eye for a silky piece of skill that saw him jinx past Spurs' Cristian Romero despite looking destined to lose possession.
Wilder, who has enjoyed a superb start to life in the Riverside Stadium dugout, praised the home fans who played their part in roaring their side on.
"The supporters gave us the energy to produce a top performance," said Wilder.
"We are delighted to 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 we have had one in our own stadium, which is brilliant."
Balogun will be hoping to break his duck in front of goal soon, ahead of his summer return to the Emirates.
When that does happen, he will be on his own in terms of centre-forwards contracted to the Gunners, given both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah's contracts are nearing expiry. Balogun signed a four-year deal last year.
Speaking recently about the reasoning behind his temporary move to Teesside, he said: "I hope a successful loan puts me in a better position that I was in before coming here.
“Coming through the ranks at Arsenal (being their main striker) was always something I wanted to achieve. Coming here my job is to give it my all and see what happens.
“It is a case of me knowing what I can do and showing it on the first team stage. That is the main thing.
“It is difficult for any young player. It is something (breaking through) you know won’t happen overnight. Young footballers have to wait for their chance, I am looking forward to it now it has arrived.
“I want to play senior football, fight for three points, to push for promotion and there is a lot of pressure here. It is a great fit for me to be here and learn and score goals. Promotion is something that I would like to feel. I am looking forward to it.”
