Eustrace reacts to win against Middlesbrough

Derby County head coach John Eustace spoke to BBC Radio Derby following Thursday's 1-0 win against Middlesbrough.

"We started slow and the opposition had two or three really good chances and we rode our luck, but as the game went on we grew into it and adapted a couple of things," he said.

"In the second half I felt a lot more comfortable with out shape. We knew we would get a couple of opportunities and I'm delighted to end up winning 1-0.

"Where we lack with a little bit of quality, we make up with determination, grit and heart. I know that group of players will sweat blood for these fans and I think they did that today.

"They really dug in at difficult moments against a really top team."
