Edwards thrilled with character and Boro reaction

Rob Edwards has been linked to the vacant head coach's role at Wolves

Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards says he was thrilled with his side's "never say die" attitude as Luke Ayling's 96th-minute header rescued a draw away to Leicester City.

But the frustration came from the fact that Boro only claimed a point from a match in which they had more possession, more shots and shots on target, more corners and more touches in the opposition box than the Foxes.

"It feels like a win because of how it happened, but it should have been a win," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees. "The performance justified a win."

The draw sees Boro slip out of the top two and they are now one point behind Stoke City, but Edwards was happy with how side played three days after their 3-0 loss at Watford.

"We've dominated the game, so that was a really pleasing performance," he said. "That was a great reaction to a disappointment on Saturday.

"We've reacted really well and any time we've been defeated this season, we've responded with a good performance and a good result. And we've done it again."
