Middlesbrough manager Neil Warnock said:
"It's a Sunday League goal, what can you say? I don't expect to concede them at any stage of the season, you can't say we don't practice enough.
"That is football, isn't it? I don't think our goalie had a shot to save but it is all about putting the ball in the back of the net so you have got to give them credit.
"I don't think they had a clue how to break us down, I think the goalkeeper played centre-half in the second half so I can't be happier with that, but which dressing room would I rather be in
