Apologies to Erimus74 (he's got me on ignore anyway).

What a finale at The Riverside and my FB post when I arrived home.

Most I’ve celebrated a goal apart from the two UEFA Cup Massimo specials.

Absolute limbs.

Middlesbrough 2-1 Reading: Adam Forshaw smashes late winner

A goal that was as significant as it was scrappy, and one that might mean at least one North East team is in the Barclays Premier League next season.

Middlesbrough 2-1 Reading: 94th minute Adam Forshaw winner puts Boro top​

• Emilio Nsue smashed Boro into the lead after a good stop from Ali Al-Habsi
• The Spaniard continued to cause problems throughout the first half
• Andrew Taylor's strike was spilled by Dimitrios Konstantopoulos allowing Simon Cox to chip in the rebound for the equaliser
• Al-Habsi made a number of great saves to keep out the home side
• A late goalmouth scramble saw Adam Forshaw drill in at the front post

A goal that was as significant as it was scrappy, and one that might mean at least one North East team is in the Barclays Premier League next season.

Adam Forshaw’s stoppage-time strike at the Riverside Stadium last night moved Middlesbrough above Burnley and to the top of the Championship after a fifth consecutive win.

They threw away their ticket to the top flight last season when a poor run-in ruined whatever chance they had at rejoining the land of untold riches.
