Sunderland's Wilson Isidor, who scored their second goal tonight, told ITV Sport:

"We really wanted to win and take six points from them because it's important in our title race. Nothing is too much for these fans and this club, which is why my emotions were a bit too much.

"[Against Burnley], I missed two penalties. I just need to bounce back and keep my chin up. The fans really helped me - they were amazing. That's why it was easy for me to sign a new contract. I love being here and my team-mates.

"At half-time, the coach said Middlesbrough were more aggressive than us. We knew the game was important for them, so we tried to be more aggressive and play more vertically, which is our strength.

"I don't want to fix limits. I said at the start of the season that I wanted 10 goals. Now I'm there.

"We play for Sunderland and you need to play with passion. All we can do is our best in the jersey.

"We are not shy to say we want to get promoted. This group is special, and so is the coach. The fans know it. We enjoy being together."

On Enzo Le Fee's assist for his goal: "Enzo is a top player. I just had to run and then I was in front of the 'keeper.

"When you are in front of the keeper, you just have to keep your cool. I saw he was not moving, so I saw if I could make him move and I scored."
