Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards was satisfied with the draw and happy with how his team fought back to keep their unbeaten start to the Championship going.

The run now stands at seven games as they sit four points clear at the top after substitute Kaly Sene ensured a share of the points at Southampton.

It was the second away consecutive match in which Boro have come from behind to draw with crucial contributions off the bench after twice doing it at Preston North End.

And it is a trait that former Luton Town boss Edwards is enjoying about his side.

"We played well in the first half but gifted them some moments with some sloppiness," he told BBC Radio Tees.

"We grew into it and we were dominant and then they scored. We had to click into gear, another level, we made some changes and found a way back in.

"Last time we were away from home, we fought back. It's good character, impact again from the side and that's pleasing. The lads are adaptable and we found a way."
