Middlesbrough dugout commotion led to extra Hellberg delight after hero revelation

Middlesbrough head coach Kim Hellberg was overjoyed to learn that Neto Borges scored the 91st-minute winning goal in a dramatic 3-2 victory against Stoke City. Hellberg initially could not see who scored through the chaotic sideline celebrations. He praised Borges's resilience and turnaround, noting the Brazilian defender was originally expected to leave the club during the summer after spending last season on loan at Bristol City.

Middlesbrough took the lead through Callum Brittain and Will Lankshear, but Stoke City equalized twice, first via a Borges own-goal and later through Robert Bozenik in the 85th minute. Borges then redeemed his earlier error by scrambling home the stoppage-time winner at the bet365 Stadium.
