Tony Mowbray is relieved after Ishmael Miller gave Middlesbrough all three points against Peterborough United.

Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray has revealed his relief that substitute Ishmael Miller managed to scrape a 3-2 win for his side at bottom-placed Peterborough United.

A 20-minute brace from Faris Haroun looked to have set Boro up for a comfortable win but a brace from Dwight Gayle levelled matters before Miller's winner.

"We came here to win, we would have been disappointed to draw and yet we could even have lost," Sky Sports News quotes Mowbray as saying. "It was all about the three points and we got them in the end.

"Ishmael was a real thorn in Peterborough's side. He was unlucky not to play from the start but showed his hunger to help the team by coming on and doing the business.

"The fact that Peterborough are bottom shows just how strong the Championship is as a league."

Middlesbrough are up to third in the Championship with the win.
