Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards says it was a case of "job done" after their narrow win at troubled Sheffield Wednesday.

Morgan Whittaker's sixth minute goal proved enough although only a series of saves from Owls debutant goalkeeper Joe Lumley prevented the visitors from finishing the game off.

Without that buffer, Edwards was just pleased that those missed chances did not prove costly.

"We got the job done in the end," he told BBC Radio Tees. "All that mattered was the three points, not really how we did it.

"We didn't get the second goal, which I think we deserved and that always kept them in it, always kept them believing they were one moment away from something.

"So I was really pleased to keep the clean sheet and the win in the end."
