Sheffield 3-2 Middlesbrough
Atdhe Nuhiu puts Sheffield ahead six minutes into the game. Steve May gives them the second in the 42nd minute and Nuhiu scores his second. Skipper Grant Leadbitter scores a penalty for Middlesbrough in the 72 minute and then another from the same spot in the second minute of extra time. Karanka:
It is very difficult to explain. I prefer to keep calm now and analyse the game when I arrive home. I don’t know if some of my players think they are untouchable but it is disappointing the way some played.
