Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate hailed makeshift fullback David Wheater after Saturday's victory over Tottenham.

"He will take some shifting now," the former England defender said.

"We felt that Premier League experience would be important for us. We knew he would give us height and a threat from set-pieces.

"We also knew Tottenham didn't have an out-and-out left winger and that came into consideration. We keep saying to them that good players can play anywhere, and he's a good footballer."
