Two goals from Turkish striker Tuncay, the second coming just two minutes from the end of normal time, earned Boro all three points at Villa Park and lifted them to eighth in the Premier League table.

"Its a fantastic result for us, Boro manager Southgate told Sky Sports News after the game.

"I thought we were resilient, we passed the ball well and we've created several chances.

"The goalkeeper [Ben Turnbull] made some good save's, which was really important, but overall it was a really good away team performance.

"The players have got to take tremendous belief from this because everyone was telling us beforehand what a tough game this was going to be, and we knew that, but we knew that we could give them a tough game as well."
