Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick says a first win in six has delivered a "big boost" to his squad.
The Boro head coach told BBC Radio Tees: "We can take a lot from it. I think the boys will feel that and hopefully it will give them a big boost. We have to do it all again on Saturday but we are certainly going in in a good frame of mind after this.
"It wasn't so much the result it was how we got it and how we played, the expression and that confidence on the back of a run we've had.
