'We surfed a wave and won' - Riley McGree

Middlesbrough's Riley McGree says they had to be 'good in both boxes' in their 4-1 win at QPR.

The victory takes Boro' level on points with sixth placed West Brom ahead of tonight's Championship matches.

"We were clinical and took our chances," McGree told BBC Tees Sport.

"Seny (Dieng) made some good saves and we got some blocks in so we had to be good at both ends.

"At 2-1 I didn't think it would slip away because as a squad we have good character and maturity."

McGree gave Middlesbrough the lead at Loftus Road as they recorded just their second win in their past six matches.

"Momentum changes during games, we surfed a wave and won comprehensively.

"We've got to start consistently winning games and hopefully it's only a matter of time before we get to where we want to be and need to be," added the Australian international.
