Three magic matches for Boro against the Potters...

Early Season Showdown

In what was the first league match between the sides in a decade back in August 2008, Boro snatched victory late on, Tuncay Sanli with the winner after a Justin Hoyte own goal had levelled things up for Tony Pulis' Premier League newcomers following a stunning free-kick from Afonso Alves.

Festive Turnaround 

Sam Clucas gave the Potters a second-half lead in this clash in the lead-up to Christmas, but Ashley Fletcher responded for Boro just four minutes later and Lewis Wing went on to complete the turnaround - a third straight home win for the Teessiders.

City Outclassed

Our last Riverside meeting ended in a comfortable win for Boro, Grant Hall, Paddy mcNair and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing netting in the 3-0 success.
