Middlesbrough manager Chris Wilder said:
"We have conceded three really poor goals of our own making. They'll say the first goal was a great finish, but we have so many things that we can do before that happens.
"The second and third goals were bits of poor defending. You can have all the structure in the world, but if you aren't prepared and don't want to defend properly you are going to get punished.
"The second-half performance was terrific. We missed two or three great chances not only to get ourselves back in the game but to win it, but we didn't take them and the longer the game goes on and the game becomes stretched they see the game out.
"It was a really disappointing afternoon from my point of view."
