Match Recap

Neto Borges does it twice, and the second one settles a five-goal scrap in stoppage time. Stoke City led the Championship chase for a flashpoint second half, trading blows with Middlesbrough from the 48th minute on, but it's Borges who has the final word, finding the net again in the 90+1 to make it 3-2 to the away side. Callum Brittain and will lankshear also got on the scoresheet for Middlesbrough, while Róbert Boženík's 85th-minute strike had briefly pulled Stoke level before Borges struck again. The result lifts Middlesbrough to second in the table on 18 points, overtaking a Stoke side that came in fourth with four wins from five, and keeps Middlesbrough's form sheet reading WDDWW. Five goals, four different scorers, and a winner that landed after the clock had already turned red, this one had everything right up to the final whistle. Watch how Neto Borges' stoppage-time finish unfolds in the highlights below.
