16.01.2018 Middlesbrough had no problem with Sunderland

With goals from Rudy Gested and Martin Brightwater Middlesbrough, he made a no-frills success against Sunderland and overcame the third round of the FA Cup. So Boro`s new manager Tony Pulis recorded a second consecutive win. His team secured their success before the break. Gestem opened the score in the 10th minute and managed to put the ball under the guest door of Jason Steele. Shortly before the end of the half-time, Brightwater made a 2-0 lead after Steele did not face a corner kick. The best option for Sunderland was at the beginning of the second half when Josh Maya hit the beam. Chris Coleman`s team is at the bottom of the Championship and the Cup is not among the top priorities now. Middlesbrough, who reached the quarterfinals last year, hopes for a new long run in the tournament.
