Middlesbrough won 3-2 at Stoke City with a stoppage-time goal from Neto Borges in the 91st minute.

Middlesbrough came from behind twice to beat Stoke City 3-2 at the bet365 Stadium, with Neto Borges scoring the decisive goal in the 91st minute. Goals from Callum Brittain, Lankshear and Borges secured the victory, ending Stoke's run of five wins in their last six games.

Stoke manager Mark Robins acknowledged Middlesbrough's quality after the defeat. He said they are difficult opponents to prepare for, particularly with little training time between fixtures. 'It's difficult. It's not excuses, it's because there are so many details that you have to give the players around a team like Middlesbrough,' Robins said. He added that he believes Middlesbrough are one of the top sides in the Championship.

Borges' winner came after he had scored an own goal earlier in the match. The Brazilian told BBC Radio Tees after the game: 'What I'm feeling right now, I'm so happy. I just saw the guys coming around me and celebrating.' The victory moved Middlesbrough to second place in the Championship on 21 points from ten games and extended their unbeaten run to eight matches.
