Middlesbrough snatched a dramatic victory at Hull City thanks to a last-gasp goal from Alex Gilbert. The Championship promotion chasers looked set for another draw but Gilbert's strike in the dying seconds secured all three points.
Alex Gilbert 's goal in the final seconds gave Championship promotion chasers Middlesbrough a dramatic victory at Hull City . With Boro seemingly heading for a fourth consecutive draw, Delano Burgzorg raced down the left and teed up fellow substitute Gilbert, who netted from close range. One was gifted to them when Hull were caught out while trying to play out from the back, but after Alfie Jones was closed down by Isaiah Jones, Azaz fired over the bar.
Hull keeper Ivor Pandur then produced a fine save to tip over Riley McGree's strike from near the edge of the penalty area.Boro dominated possession after the interval and had Hull pinned back, but City defended well and Pandur easily gathered Hackney's speculative attempt from distance. That prompted Boro boss Carrick to make a triple substitution, sending Ben Doak on along with Neto Borges and Burgzorg. His team immediately looked much more dangerous, with Hackney shooting against the woodwork and Pandur having to dive to keep out strikes from Burgzorg and Azaz.He replaced Azaz with Gilbert, who made himself a hero with his tidy finish. 'That being in the last seconds is hard to take. It hurts because if you cannot win it - and sometimes it happens like that - then you don't lose it at the very end. 'It was a game that didn't look like it was going to be for us, but we need to learn to at least get that point at the very end. 'Middlesbrough are a good team, they are powerful, and the players on the pitch were doing a good job and then the substitutions made them better.'The goal that late, with the amount of effort everyone put in, it's a little bit of heartbrea
