Middlesbrough moved five points clear of the Championship relegation zone with two games left to play after coming from behind to win at Reading – and supporters were certainly impressed by the performance.

After falling behind to Liam Moore’s opener, Boro equalised through Ashley Fletcher before Patrick Roberts netted the winner eight minutes from time.

Hull’s embarrassing 8-0 defeat at Wigan and Luton’s 1-1 draw with QPR means Boro have probably done enough to stay up this season.

The Teessiders have won three of their six games under Warnock – and many fans were calling for him to stay beyond the end of the season following the win.

Several players were also praised for their performances, particularly Marcus Tavernier, George Saville, Jonny Howson and Dael Fry.

Here’s how some fans reacted on social media:

@SirBenGlass: Warnock on a permanent contract please Mr Gibson. Give him a competitive transfer fund and he’ll get us up.

@JeffersMFC: Massive Win, Howson & Saville looked a fantastic Central Midfield, Tav never stopped running, Roberts had that threat throughout. WE NEED TO FOLLOW IT UP Let’s have a performance Saturday
