Boro answered 'questions' in Ipswich win - Edwards

Rob Edwards has not lost any of his first five league games as Boro boss at the Riverside Stadium

Head coach Rob Edwards loved watching his Middlesbrough side defeat Ipswich Town as they returned to the top of the Championship.

The 2-1 victory at the Riverside saw them leapfrog Coventry City into first place and ended a three-game spell without a win.

Boro had failed to score in two of those and it had raised a few questions after their excellent early season form.

So Edwards was delighted with how his players responded to beat the pre-season favourites for promotion.

"I loved us tonight," he told BBC Radio Tees.

"The energy, the intensity, the work-rate, the desire to win the ball back, the blocks. I loved that, that side of us was great. We carried a threat and we scored a magnificent second goal.

"I'm really proud of the lads and I feel privileged to be part of this because I think it was a really good game.

"We dropped a few points, one or two questions were asked and we've delivered and answered them. But what we've got to do is be consistent and keep that going."
