Quique Setien says he could not imagine becoming Barcelona manager "in his wildest dreams".
Former Real Betis coach Setien, 61, was named Barca boss on Monday following Ernesto Valverde's sacking.
Setien, who has signed a two-and-a-half year deal, led Betis to their highest finish since 2005 and to the Copa del Rey semis before leaving in May.
"I want to thank this institution for giving me the chance," said the Spaniard at his first news conference.
"Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this. I have to thank the club. I'm excited about this challenge and this project."
He added: "Yesterday, I was walking around my home town with cows around me and now I'm here at Barcelona managing the best players in the world."
After managing lower-league sides, Setien led Las Palmas to 11th in La Liga - their best finish for 40 years - and enjoyed further success at Betis, where in his first season he led them to sixth place and qualification for the Europa League.
Betis also secured wins over Barca, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid during his two-year tenure, and he left the club by mutual consent in the summer.
Barcelona are top of La Liga on goal difference and have won four of the last five league titles.
"I thank Ernesto Valverde for leaving me with a side that is top of the league," he said.
"My objective is to win everything! Everything you can win, this club has no other path to follow.
"Year after year, to win as many trophies as possible. I think the best way to victory is by playing good football. It doesn't always happen but it's not just about one day, it's about keeping it going."
Setien has previously stated he would cry when Barca and Argentina forward Lionel Messi retires.
"I said that about a lot of players," he said. "I have enjoyed watching Barcelona for several years, watching them on television.
"To be able to manage the best in the world, and his team-mates - he has great team-mates - I have spoken to him and others.
"I have always said that the admiration is one thing but reality is different. Everyone needs to have their place. Messi is Messi, Busquets is Busquets."

Gareth Bale
Overseas clubs played for: Real Madrid
Major honours won overseas: Champions League (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018), La Liga (2016-17), Copa del Rey (2014), Uefa Super Cup (2014, 2016, 2017), Club World Cup (2014, 2017, 2018)
Why him? His future in Madrid remains in the balance and he may even prefer golf - but you simply cannot argue with Gareth Bale's haul of medals in Spain. Only 11 players have won more than his four Champions League titles and he has scored in two finals.
He has scored 80 league goals in 167 games for the club. Not too shabby.
David Beckham
Overseas clubs played for: Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan, Paris St-Germain
Major honours won overseas: La Liga (2006-07), MLS Cup (2011, 2012), Ligue 1 (2012-13)
Why him? A title winner in four countries and on two continents, David Beckham was part of a team of Galacticos at Real including Ronaldo, Zidane and Figo but only won the title in his final season in Spain. LA Galaxy changed their badge and the colour of their kit when he arrived to fit in with his image and he delivered two titles in his time before short spells with both AC Milan and PSG ended his career.
John Collins
Overseas clubs played for: Monaco
Major honours won overseas: Ligue 1 (1996-97)
Why him? The classy Scottish midfielder won the French title with Monaco and then went all the way to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 1998 alongside the core of that summer's World Cup-winning French side in Barthez, Sagnol, Trezeguet and Henry.
Paul Gascoigne
Overseas clubs played for: Lazio, Gansu Tianma
Major honours won overseas: None
Why him? OK, so he didn't win anything at Lazio, but just think of the profile Paul Gascoigne's move to Serie A gave the game in the UK. James Richardson, coffee shops, La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Was injured for large periods of his time in Rome but scored a crucial goal against rivals Roma and remains popular with fans - "Welcome back Gazza. Lionheart, headstrong, pure talent, real man: still our hero," read a banner when he attended a Lazio v Spurs game in 2012.
Owen Hargreaves
Overseas clubs played for: Bayern Munich
Major honours won overseas: Champions League (2001), Bundesliga (2001, 2003, 2005, 2006), German Cup (2003, 2005, 2006), Intercontinental Cup (2001).
Why him? Can an export be an export if they play in Europe before the Premier League? A grey area. But in terms of England internationals playing in Europe not many players have won more than Owen Hargreaves.
Spent a dominant decade at Bayern Munich before coming to Manchester United and winning the Champions League for a second time. A key player for England under Sven-Goran Eriksson, and would have won more caps and honours had it not been for injury.
Paul Lambert
Overseas clubs played for: Borussia Dortmund
Major honours won overseas: Champions League (1997)
Why him? A surprise capture from Motherwell in 1996, Lambert was signed by Borussia Dortmund following strong performances against the club previously in the Uefa Cup.
Lambert instantly proved a key figure for Dortmund under Ottmar Hitzfeld, and produced a man-of-the-match display in the biggest game of his club career as the German side stunned Juventus to win the Champions League.
Lambert - the first British player to win the European Cup with a non-British side - set up Karl-Heinz Riedle for the opening goal, but even more impressive was the man marking job he did on Zinedine Zidane.
Steve McManaman
Overseas clubs played for: Real Madrid
Major honours won overseas: Champions League (2000, 2002), La Liga (2001, 2003), Uefa Super Cup (2002)
Why him? Often overlooked, it's easy to forget just how good a player Steve McManaman was. A key player at Euro 96, he was versatile enough to play right across midfield and was superb with the ball at his feet at times. Liverpool failed to offer him a good enough deal to stay and he became a high-profile free transfer to Real Madrid in 1999.
The first Premier League player to play for Real, McManaman was a huge success despite nearly being sold on after his first 12 months - scoring in a Champions League final and helping Real win the trophy twice.
Michael Owen
Overseas clubs played for: Real Madrid
Major honours won overseas: None
Why him? Another player to go from Liverpool to Real - Michael Owen never reached the same heights as Steve McManaman. Managed a very respectable haul of 16 goals in all competitions in just 26 starts but was never first choice and moved back to England after just a year.
David Platt
Overseas clubs played for: Bari, Juventus, Sampdoria
Major honours won overseas: Uefa Cup (1993), Coppa Italia (1994)
Why him? A pioneer? David Platt joined Bari before the Premier League era began but spent four years in total in Serie A, racking up transfer fees totalling £17.2m - which was enormous in the early 1990s.
Scored goals wherever he went and managed in Italy too - albeit only for six games.
Jadon Sancho
Overseas clubs played for: Borussia Dortmund
Major honours won overseas: None
Why him? It's early days but Jadon Sancho is also a bit of a pioneer. One of the first young English players to look at a move abroad instead of sitting in Manchester City's academy, the Bundesliga gamble has certainly paid off.
Still only 19, Sancho has become a regular for England and with 22 goals in 61 league games for Dortmund he is one of the hottest properties in world football at the moment.
Also under consideration...
Paul Ince had two good years at Inter Milan in the mid-1990s without winning a medal, while current Middlesbrough manager Jonathan Woodgate was a big-money signing for Real Madrid in 2004 but struggled through injury.
Could Aaron Ramsey join the list of British players to win the Champions League overseas? Playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo can only help, with the Welshman's Juventus side up against Lyon in the last 16.

Wilder v Fury II: Pair trade insults at news conference

bbc--2020-01-14--China needs to show Taiwan respect, says president

Taiwan 's President Tsai Ing-wen has told the BBC that China needs to `` face reality '' and show the island `` respect '' .
She was re-elected for a second term on Saturday , winning by a landslide after a campaign in which she focused heavily on the rising threat from Beijing .
The Chinese Communist Party has long claimed sovereignty over Taiwan and the right to take it by force if necessary .
Ms Tsai insisted that the sovereignty of the self-governing island was not in doubt or up for negotiation .
`` We do n't have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' the 63-year-old president told the BBC in an exclusive interview , her first since the election .
`` We are an independent country already and we call ourselves the Republic of China , Taiwan . ''
Such statements infuriate Beijing , which wants a return to the `` One China '' principle favoured by the main rival she saw off in the race for president , Han Kuo-yu from the Kuomintang party .
His party traces its roots to the defeated nationalists in the Chinese civil war , who fled to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as part of a greater China from which they had been usurped .
• What is the 'One China ' policy ?
In recent years , that concept of One China has proved a useful compromise , Taiwanese supporters of it argue .
China insists on its acceptance as a prerequisite for building economic ties with Taiwan , precisely because doing so is an explicit denial of its existence as a de facto island state .
But it is clear that Ms Tsai believes her victory is proof of how little appetite there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the ambiguity it allowed over Taiwan 's real status .
`` The situation has changed , '' she says .
`` The ambiguity can no longer serve the purposes it was intended to serve . ''
And what has really changed , she suggests , is China .
`` Because [ for more than ] three years we 're seeing China has been intensifying its threat ... they have their military vessels and aircraft cruising around the island , '' she says .
`` And also , the things happening in Hong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that this threat is real and it 's getting more and more serious . ''
Taiwan 's interests , she believes , are not best served by semantics but by facing up to the reality , in particular the aspirations of the Taiwanese youth who flocked to her cause .
`` We have a separate identity and we 're a country of our own .
So , if there 's anything that runs counter to this idea , they will stand up and say that 's not acceptable to us .
`` We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a pretty decent economy , we deserve respect from China . ''
For President Tsai 's critics , her stance is needlessly provocative , one that only risks increasing the very danger she warns about - open hostility .
But she says she has shown restraint .
She has , for example , stopped short of the formal declaration of independence - amending the constitution and changing the flag - that some in her Democratic Progressive Party would like .
China has said it would regard such a move as a pretext for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many pressures , so much pressure here that we should go further , '' she says .
`` But [ for ] more than three years , we have been telling China that maintaining a status quo remains our policy ...
I think that is a very friendly gesture to China . ''
While Ms Tsai says she is open to dialogue , she is also well aware that as a result of her victory , Beijing may well increase its pressure on Taiwan .
In response , she is trying to diversify @ @ @ @ @ @ @ domestic economy , in particular by encouraging Taiwanese investors who have built factories in China to consider relocating back home .
And she is planning for all eventualities .
`` You can not exclude the possibility of war at any time , '' she says .
`` But the thing is you have to get yourself prepared and develop the ability to defend yourself . ''
`` We have been trying very hard and making a lot of efforts to strengthen our capability , '' she replies .
`` Invading Taiwan is something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for China . ''

"We have a separate identity and we're a country of our own. So, if there's anything that runs counter to this idea, they will stand up and say that's not acceptable to us.


bbc--2020-01-14--Plane dumps fuel over school in emergency landing to LAX

A passenger plane has dumped fuel over a school playground as it made an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport .
At least 17 children and several adults are being treated for skin irritation and breathing problems .
Fuel may be dumped in emergencies landings , but only over designated areas and at a high altitude , aviation rules stipulate .
The Delta Airlines flight returned to the airport due to an engine issue .
All of the injuries at Park Elementary School in Cudahy , some 16 miles ( 26km ) east of the airport , are said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Los Angeles Times , two classes were outside at the time the fuel was released .
Elizabeth Alcantar , mayor of Cudahy , told the newspaper : `` I 'm very upset .
This is an elementary school , these are small children . ''
Delta Airlines confirmed in a statement that the passenger plane had released fuel to reduce its landing weight .
Allen Kenitzer , a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration told Reuters news agency : `` The FAA is thoroughly investigating the circumstances behind this incident .
There are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and out of any major US airport .
`` These procedures call for fuel to be dumped over designated unpopulated areas , typically at higher altitudes so the fuel atomises and disperses before it reaches the ground . ''

But when a flight is cut short the aircraft may still be too heavy to land safely. In such situations the pilot may take the rare decision to dump fuel and reduce the aircraft's weight quickly.


bbc--2020-01-14--House to vote on sending Trump impeachment articles to Senate

The US House of Representatives will vote on Wednesday on sending articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate , Democrats say .
The vote sets the stage for Mr Trump 's impeachment trial to begin in earnest next week .
Mrs Pelosi has been withholding the articles of impeachment in a row with Republicans over allowing witnesses .
Mr Trump was impeached by the House last month , on accusations of abuse of power and obstruction of congress .
He denies trying to pressure Ukraine to open an investigation into his would-be Democratic White House challenger Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unsubstantiated corruption claims about Mr Biden and his son , Hunter , who accepted a lucrative board position with a Ukrainian energy firm while his father handled American-Ukraine relations as US vice-president .
The impeachment trial by the Senate will be only the third ever of a US president .
While Democrats control the House , Mr Trump 's fellow Republicans control the upper chamber 53-47 , and are all but certain to acquit him .
`` The American people deserve the truth , and the Constitution demands a trial , '' said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a statement about Wednesday 's vote .
Once the resolution is approved , the House managers will walk to the Senate and formally present the articles of impeachment in the well of the chamber , escorted by the sergeant-at-arms .
The articles of impeachment will be read out .
Senate leader Mitch McConnell met Republican senators behind closed doors on Tuesday to map out the ground rules .
He said the trial was likely to begin in earnest next Tuesday .
The first couple of days will involve housekeeping duties , possibly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Justice John Roberts will be sworn in to preside , and he will administer an oath to all 100 senators to deliver `` impartial justice '' as jurors .
Lawmakers may hear opening arguments next week .
The House managers will lay out their case against Mr Trump , and the president 's legal team will respond .
The trial is expected to last up to five weeks , with the Senate taking only Sundays off .
What does President Trump say ?
Mr Trump suggested over the weekend that he might prefer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legitimacy to the `` hoax '' case against him .
But Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri , who is part of the Senate leadership , said on Monday that the chamber did not have the votes to simply dismiss the charges .
Moderate Republican senators Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah have made clear they would oppose any such motion .
The White House said on Tuesday the president is `` not afraid of a fight '' in his trial .
Deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said Mr Trump was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that `` this man did nothing wrong '' .
Will there be witnesses ?
One of the biggest sticking points between House Democrats and Senate Republicans has been whether testimony will be allowed during the trial .
The Senate 's trial plan will guarantee votes on whether to call witnesses and hear new evidence , Republican senators Lindsey Graham and Mike Rounds said on Tuesday .
It takes just 51 votes to approve rules or call witnesses , meaning four Republican senators would have to side with Democrats to insist on testimony .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ identified several possible defectors in the Republican ranks , including Ms Collins and Mr Romney .
The others are Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska , Cory Gardner of Colorado and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee , who is retiring this year .
Ms Collins said : `` My position is that there should be a vote on whether or not witnesses should be called . ''
Mr Romney said he wants to hear from John Bolton , the former National Security Adviser , who has said he would only testify if served a legal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some kind of surprise , '' said Mr Romney , `` I 'll be voting in favour of hearing from witnesses after those opening arguments . ''

Iran says it has arrested the person who filmed the footage showing a Ukrainian passenger plane being shot down by a missile .
It is believed the person being detained will face charges related to national security .
Flight PS752 was brought down after it took off from Tehran on Wednesday , killing all 176 people on board .
Iran has said it was shot down by accident and announced the arrest of several people over the incident .
President Hassan Rouhani said his country 's investigation would be overseen by a `` special court '' .
`` This will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Iranian media reported that Iran 's elite Revolutionary Guards had taken a person who posted a video last week of the missile striking the plane into custody .

The paper said this would explain why the plane 's transponder seemed to have stopped working before the missile strike - it had been disabled by the first missile .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Minister Boris Johnson told the BBC on Tuesday that he was `` glad '' Iran had acknowledged making a `` terrible mistake '' in shooting down the plane .

bbc--2020-01-14--UK paper defends printing Meghan letter to father

The Mail on Sunday has argued there is a `` huge and legitimate public interest '' in the Royal Family and its `` personal and family relationships '' , as it published its defence to a legal claim made by the Duchess of Sussex .
Meghan is suing the newspaper and its parent group for publishing a letter she wrote to her father in 2018 .
Her claims include misuse of her private information , selective editing of the letter and breach of copyright .
The Mail on Sunday rejects all claims .
Evidence from the duchess 's father , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paper 's defence .
In what BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond described as a `` very robust '' response from the paper , it argued in a court document that members of the Royal Family , including Meghan , `` rely on publicity about themselves and their lives in order to maintain the privileged positions they hold and promote themselves '' .
It said the duchess `` did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy that the contents of the letter were private and would remain so '' .
`` There is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Royal Family and the activities , conduct and standards of behaviour of its members , '' it said .
`` This extends not merely to their public conduct , but to their personal and family relationships because those are integral to the proper functioning of the monarchy . ''

It comes as the Royal Family seek to redefine the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 's role after the pair issued a surprise statement last week expressing their wish to `` step back as 'senior ' members of the Royal Family '' .
The Queen , the Prince of Wales , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harry met at Sandringham on Monday to discuss the couple 's future , but Meghan did not take part .
A palace official said `` in the end it was decided by the Sussexes that it was n't necessary for the duchess to join '' .

Sukur scored 51 goals in 112 appearances for Turkey
Hakan Sukur is Turkey's greatest ever goalscorer and once one of Europe's most prolific strikers. A legend.
So, how did he end up driving taxis and selling books for a living in the US, in exile from his home country?
According to an interview with external-link German newspaper, Welt am Sonntag, the 48-year-old former striker's life has taken an unusual and troubling turn since retiring from football in 2008.
He claims that a rift with the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has exposed him to death threats, false accusations and lack of access to funds.
'I have nothing left, Erdogan took everything: my right to liberty, freedom of expression and right to work," he told the paper.
Sukur scored 51 goals in 112 appearances for Turkey between 1992 and 2007. He was part of the Turkish side that finished third at the 2002 World Cup.
The former Blackburn player spent the majority of his career at Galatasaray and is the all-time leading goalscorer in the Super Lig - the Turkish top flight.
Sukur scored what is still the fastest ever World Cup goal, just 11 seconds after kick-off against South Korea in 2002
After retiring from football, he went into politics. In 2011, Sukur won a seat in Turkey's Parliament as a member of Erdogan's Justice and Development Party .
But he was also tied to Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish Islamic scholar and rival of Erdogan, whom the Turkish President blamed for a bloody attempted coup in 2016.
Sukur, by then living in the US, reportedly external-link denounced the attempted coup, but was nonetheless, in 2017, described by Turkish-run state media external-link as a "fugitive member of the Fetullah Terrorist Organisation (FETO)".
That report describes him living in a $3m house, running a cafe at Palo Alto, "the richest area of San Francisco Bay Area".
Sukur tells a less fun-sounding story.
"I moved to the United States, initially running a cafe in California, but strange people kept coming into the bar," he told Welt am Sonntag. "Now I drive for Uber and I sell books."
He has said that his houses, businesses and bank accounts in Turkey had all been seized by Erdogan's government.
He also denies any crimes.
"Nobody seems able to explain what my role in this coup was supposed to be," he added. "I never did anything illegal, I am not a traitor or a terrorist."
This is not the first time he's spoken on the subject. In 2018 he told the New York Times: external-link "It's my country; I love my people, even though their ideas about me are distorted by controlled media."
The story throws up more questions about Erdogan's government. In 2018, Mesut Ozil attracted criticism after posing for a picture with the Turkish President, including from the German Football Federation (DFB), which said "football and the DFB defend values which are not sufficiently respected by Mr Erdogan".
Erdogan was subsequently best man at Ozil's wedding.

Smoke haze over Melbourne was visible on Wednesday morning
Australian Open qualifying was cancelled for the day because of rain after earlier delays caused by the "very poor" air quality from ongoing bushfires in the country.
Play was delayed by three hours after the air quality was rated "unhealthy".
Matches began at 13:00 local time (02:00 GMT) but were later suspended for the day because of heavy rain.
On Tuesday, Slovenia's Dalila Jakupovic had to be helped off court after retiring from her match.
Air quality in the city was rated as moderate by late afternoon.
At least 28 people have died and an estimated 10 million hectares (100,000 sq km) of land in Australia has burned since 1 July.
Victoria's chief health officer Dr Brett Sutton said it was "awful" to see players struggling with the air quality, adding that it was a "juggling act" for the tournament organisers over when to play.
"I can't make a call on what individual thresholds might be - it really does depends on what it might mean to enclose a space and what filtration systems they might have as alternatives," he said.
"But I think they need to consider through all those thresholds - from poor to hazardous air quality - what their alternatives might be with the view to protecting as many players as possible."
Australia weather forecast: air quality should improve
Harriet Dart was the only Briton to win on the opening day of qualifying on Tuesday but her second-round match against Nicole Gibbs has been pushed back to Thursday.
"It was a little bit different, especially with the visual appearance of everything," Dart told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I didn't go outside too much until my match. I think I was quite lucky to be playing later as the conditions definitely improved as the day went on."
The Rally for Relief exhibition match - featuring Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams, with all money raised being donated to the bushfire relief fund - is scheduled to take place at Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday night.
Analysis
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller in Melbourne
Landing at Melbourne airport on Wednesday morning was a sobering experience. Reminiscent of a foggy autumnal day, the sun was completely obscured by smoke from the bushfires.
The air quality did improve as the day went on, although not until the first three hours of play had been lost.
The heat and humidity were probably the most unpleasant elements for the players on this second day of qualifying - until the thunder clouds rolled in, and turned the courts into paddling pools.
The rain is, of course, extremely welcome. And it is water rather than smoke which is likely to cause the biggest headache for the schedulers over the next few days.

Manchester United face Wolves in a FA Cup third-round replay on Wednesday
Manchester United have scrapped plans for a training camp in the Gulf region during next month's winter break because of security concerns.
United do not play for 16 days between Premier League ties against Wolves on 1 February and at Chelsea on 17 February.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plans to give his squad a few days off before going away for a training camp.
While the destination had not been decided, Qatar and Dubai would have been near the top of United's list.
In January last year, Solskjaer took his squad to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and sent some of his players there again in November during an international break.
United have also previously used the Aspire Academy in Qatar's capital Doha for a winter training camp.
There has been a rise in tensions in the region after senior Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US air strike in Baghdad and a Ukrainian International Airlines plane was accidentally shot down in Tehran, killing all 176 passengers.
Solskjaer has decided to keep his squad in Europe, most likely Spain or Portugal, to prepare for the rest of their campaign, which includes a Europa League last-32 meeting with Belgian side Club Bruges.
When asked if United's plans had changed, Solskjaer said: "Yes, there are things that worry me more than football.
"We were looking at the Middle East but that is definitely not going to happen. We will stay in Europe."
The latest Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice for Qatar is that tourists should "remain vigilant" amid a "heightened threat of terrorist attacks globally against UK interests and British nationals".
Youngsters to form core going forward
United are fifth in the Premier League, 27 points off leaders Liverpool, who they face at Anfield on Sunday after a FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves on Wednesday.
Solskjaer said the aim is to be challenging for the title next season but that he is "not saying it is a realistic one".
"We are behind and a fair rate behind the top one now, who we play on Sunday and we'll see where we are against them," he said.
"But with a few signings, with the improvement these players are making, in the next couple of years we want to do that."
The Norwegian added that the performances of United's young players showed the squad does not need a major overhaul.
"This is a group you can work with," he said. "They're going to give you everything. That's the core of what the team is going to be moving forward, for me.
"Of course we're looking at a couple of signings and strengthening here and there but the core group is there."

The FA Cup represents Tottenham 's best chance of a trophy this season ; they are eighth in the Premier League , out of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exit on penalties at League Two Colchester - and have a tricky tie against Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig in the Champions League last 16 .
If they were to win the FA Cup , it would be their first trophy since lifting the League Cup in 2008 .

Woodgate and Keane 's current side , cheered on by 3,700 fans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ east in the first FA Cup tie at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium , made an awful start after a horrible error from Mejias .
The Spanish goalkeeper , who played under Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid in 2011 , tried to play a ball to Marvin Johnson , but Lo Celso intercepted the pass inside the penalty area , cut inside a challenge and curled a low effort into the net .

With Harry Kane out until at least April after surgery on a hamstring injury , Spurs are light on attacking options and boss Mourinho took the chance to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forwards , with Son Heung-min playing only the last 30 minutes , and Dele Alli making a brief appearance as a substitute , coming on after Saville 's goal .
That meant another appearance in the starting 11 for Christian Eriksen , despite the midfielder , out of contract at the end of season , being linked with a January move to Inter Milan .

Tottenham, who have won the FA Cup eight times, will play at Southampton in the fourth round on 25 January.
Spurs gain much-needed victory
The FA Cup represents Tottenham's best chance of a trophy this season; they are eighth in the Premier League, out of the EFL Cup - after a shock third-round exit on penalties at League Two Colchester - and have a tricky tie against Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig in the Champions League last 16.
If they were to win the FA Cup, it would be their first trophy since lifting the League Cup in 2008.
Boro boss Jonathan Woodgate scored the winner for Spurs in that Wembley final against Chelsea 12 years ago, as part of a team that also included his assistant boss Robbie Keane.
Woodgate and Keane's current side, cheered on by 3,700 fans who had travelled down from the north east in the first FA Cup tie at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, made an awful start after a horrible error from Mejias.
The Spanish goalkeeper, who played under Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid in 2011, tried to play a ball to Marvin Johnson, but Lo Celso intercepted the pass inside the penalty area, cut inside a challenge and curled a low effort into the net.
Giovani lo Celso's goal was his second for Tottenham since joining the club on loan from Real Betis in August
Boro had a chance to equalise in the 13th minute but Lukas Nmecha, on loan from Manchester City, had his effort well saved by Paulo Gazzaniga and that proved costly as Lamela's goal three minutes later doubled the hosts' lead.
Woodgate would be again unhappy with his side's defending as Jonny Howson was dispossessed 35 yards from goal, before Lamela was able to go on a jinking run and flick the ball with the outside of his foot past Mejias from 12 yards.

Saville's 83rd-minute goal for the visitors gave them hope, but they could not find an equaliser.
A Tottenham farewell for Eriksen?
With Harry Kane out until at least April after surgery on a hamstring injury, Spurs are light on attacking options and boss Mourinho took the chance to ease the workload on his other senior forwards, with Son Heung-min playing only the last 30 minutes, and Dele Alli making a brief appearance as a substitute, coming on after Saville's goal.
That meant another appearance in the starting 11 for Christian Eriksen, despite the midfielder, out of contract at the end of season, being linked with a January move to Inter Milan.
Eriksen, who has been with Spurs since 2013, had a chance to score after flicking the ball over the head of an opponent and being fouled - driving the resulting free-kick saved by Mejias.
He should have also been put through on goal, but team-mate Moura instead opted to shoot instead and could only drag an effort wide.
Eriksen nearly scored late in the second half when his low delivery in the penalty area was missed by everyone and Mejias had to get down well to push the ball away one-handed.
This was Tottenham's 31st match of the season and their 14th in a 53-day period since Mourinho's first game in charge on 23 November.
He will be pleased with the win and that extra-time was not needed but will be frustrated with the late goal conceded, meaning they have only kept one clean sheet in his 14 games in charge.
Man of the match - Japhet Tanganga (Tottenham)
No player on either side had more touches of the ball than Japhet Tanganga. The right-back, making only his second Tottenham start, had 96 touches and one shot, had a pass completion rate of 82%, played one key pass, and made two tackles, one clearance and three interceptions
Mourinho's Tottenham concede again - the stats
Tottenham are unbeaten in each of their past 41 FA Cup home matches against teams from a lower division (won 34, drew seven) since a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in January 1975.
Middlesbrough have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their past 13 meetings with Tottenham in all competitions since a 1-0 win at the Riverside Stadium in May 2005.
For just the second time during his 923-game managerial career, Jose Mourinho has seen one of his clubs concede at least once in nine consecutive matches in all competitions, also suffering the same fate with Chelsea between May and September 2015.
Timed at one minute 55 seconds, Lo Celso's strike was Spurs' earliest goal at the new stadium - and their earliest home goal since Eriksen scored against Manchester United at Wembley in the Premier League in January 2018.
'We knew it was going to be difficult' - what they said
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho, speaking to BBC Sport, said: "Three-nil was so close so many times. I told my players at half-time if we don't score [to make it] 3-0, then if it went 2-1 we would be in trouble and it happened.
"We knew the opponents were hard. They brought on Gestede and went direct and made problems and when it was 2-1 we knew it was going to be difficult.
"We tried our best. The boys are trying their best. They dealt well with many set-piece situations. We did lots of things well. We conceded the goal, a bit frustrating, but more frustrating was that we did not score three, four or five."

On the early error from keeper Tomas Mejias, Woodgate added: "We all make mistakes and I won't hammer anyone for that - we want them to play out from the back."
What's next?
Tottenham, who have only taken one point from their past three Premier League matches, return to league action on Saturday when they play at Watford (12:30 GMT). The fourth-round FA Cup tie at Southampton will be played on Saturday, 25 January (15:00).
Middlesbrough play again in three days time with an away match in the Championship at Fulham on Friday (19:45 GMT).

A passenger plane has dumped fuel over several schools as it made an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport .
At least 60 people , many of them children , were treated for skin irritation and breathing problems .
Fuel may be dumped in emergency landings , but only over designated areas and at a high altitude , aviation rules stipulate .

bbc--2020-01-15--Australia fires: Family blames teenager’s death on bushfire smoke

One night last November , Courtney Partridge-McLennan said goodnight to her family in Australia and went to sleep in her room .
At some point in following hours , the 19-year-old woman suffered a suspected asthma attack .
When her parents checked on her the next morning , Courtney had died .
Her family believes that Courtney 's death in Glen Innes , New South Wales , was triggered by smoke from nearby bushfires .
Like many populated areas across Australia 's east , the town has been shrouded by smoke in recent months .
`` She was found with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she was looking for something , '' her sister , Cherylleigh , told the BBC 's Outside Source programme .
`` Her Ventolin [ inhaler ] was on the bed with her . ''
Courtney was diagnosed with asthma as a child .
It was not usually severe but tended to flare up around dust and air pollutants , according to her sister .
`` She had no symptoms before she went to bed , '' Cherylleigh said .
`` She was healthy and that 's what made it the biggest shock for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nowhere . ''
• 'There were no symptoms ' : Listen to the full interview Cherylleigh said preliminary autopsy reports had listed the cause of death as `` unconfirmed '' .
But she added her parents had been told that Courtney had a `` hyper-extension of the lungs '' - one indicator of an asthma attack .
`` Initially when they found her , the comments were , 'oh it definitely looks like an asthma attack , it looked like it happened really quickly , ' '' Cherylleigh said .
According to health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Australia 's ongoing bushfire crisis .
The condition narrows a person 's airways when triggered by irritants in the air .
In recent months , cities including Sydney , Melbourne , Canberra and Adelaide have recorded some the worst air quality readings globally .
In rural communities closer to the fire-zones , the impact has been even greater .
A fortnight before Courtney 's death on 28 November , bushfires ripped through Glen Innes , causing the deaths of two people .
But fires had burned in the region since September , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Her family believes this was the trigger for her asthma attack .
• How bad is bushfire smoke for health ?
Health officials have consistently warned of the dangers of bushfire smoke , urging those with asthma - about one in nine Australians - to carry their treatments with them .
`` It can be a really frightening experience when [ one is ] exposed to triggers like bushfire smoke , '' said Michele Goldman from advocacy group Asthma Australia .
`` They can experience breathlessness and wheezing , and symptoms can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attack which can be fatal . ''
She fears that because the condition is common , and often mild , there is a sense of complacency - even amid the unprecedented smoke .
Cherylleigh said Courtney had been studying to be a youth worker , and had been passionate about helping others .
`` For us , it 's about getting people aware that asthma is this serious , '' Cherylleigh said .
`` Courtney 's death was not an isolated incident . ''

"She was found with her phone torch on, as though she was looking for something," her sister, Cherylleigh, told the BBC's Outside Source programme. "Her Ventolin [inhaler] was on the bed with her."
