12 unavailable players before the game. Unable to fill the bench which included two goalkeepers. A further two injuries inside the first 20 mins. Up against a Chelsea team which cost over £600M.
Unbelievable spirited performance and win. What a night. UTFB 👏❤

Michael Carrick 🗣
"I’m proud of the players and their effort, and the whole club really, the staff and supporters, for how far we’ve come. I’m proud of the journey we’ve been on so far, and hopefully it’s just the start of something."

Michael Carrick has taken Middlesbrough from 22nd to 3rd in just 14 games as manager at the club.

"My peak time was spent at Middlesbrough. The love I got back from the people was just unreal, every time I put on a Boro shirt, whether it was home or away, really made me think to myself, I'm going to give everything I have."
George Boateng, what a man 🙌❤️

🗣 Sam Morsy - "What an amazing guy he is. I’m presuming he’s going to sign and he’s just given the place a huge lift.
His story and having bounced back is an inspiration really. I remember his first training session and thinking wow, he’s a proper player."
