'Late goals are the best' - Carrick hails Boro win

Tommy Conway's goal was only the second time Middlesbrough have won a match in injury time this season

Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick said that it was worth the wait as his side snatched an injury-time winner against bottom side Plymouth Argyle.

Boro looked set to drop two points further adrift in their quest to make the play-offs until Tommy Conway's 93rd-minute penalty kick.

Conway's 13th goal of the season was only the second time this campaign that the Teessiders have won a league game in injury time.

And it means they remain three points behind sixth-placed Coventry City with three games to go. They include a trip to the Sky Blues in the final game of the season on 3 May.

"The games are going to flip at times and the picture is going to change quite quickly, but I thought we deserved it," Carrick told BBC Radio Tees.

"We kept going - it's not easy when you have to break teams down all the time. I thought we created enough to score but it's worth the wait. The late ones are the best.

"Great composure from Tommy to take that penalty at the end under the circumstances and it's a big result for us.

"When you get to the end and there's a lot at stake, there are going to be moments and it's whether we can seize them really. Today was for Tommy really."
