Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka has called on his players to "keep going and working together" to survive relegation from the Premier League come the end of the season.
The Teesside outfit climbed to 13th place in the table after Monday night's 1-0 win over Hull City, secured thanks to Gaston Ramirez's second-half goal.
Karanka said after the game: "We deserved to win, we had a lot of chances and all of the possession. We were confident on the pitch and once we went ahead we had the experience to manage the game.
"Sometimes Gaston Ramirez will score, sometimes another player but we won promotion to the Premier League by playing as a team and that is how we stay.
"We have 15 points, we must keep going and working together. We have to fight with the teams in the relegation positions because we are a newly-promoted team. We have done nothing yet."
Boro's win on Monday was their second home victory of the 2016-17 season.
