    Middlesbrough have collected 19 points from 10 games under Kim Hellberg

    Kim Hellberg says "mentality" was the reason behind their dramatic win at West Bromwich Albion.

    Boro looked to have squandered two points as Albion fought back from two down to draw level.

    But Hellberg's side regained their composure, which allowed a fine move to set up Delano Burgzorg to score a 90th minute winner, a result which kept the Teessiders second in the league.

    "The mentality of the players is the key thing here after the crowd goes unbelievably crazy," said the Swede.

    "The game was almost done. We were controlling things and they scored a goal from almost nothing.

    "They got a lot of energy and have some very good players and then [for us] to come back from that and score a winner in that way [was great].

    "It was not a long ball, it was not lucky, it was a top quality goal in the 90th minute and that says everything about this group of lads."

    Middlesbrough full-back Lukas Engel has signed for Major League Soccer side Real Salt Lake in a permanent deal.

    The Dane spent most of 2025 in the US, making 39 appearances in a loan spell with FC Cincinnati.

    His last appearance was in a 2-0 home Championship win over West Bromwich Albion in January 2025.

    Neither club have disclosed whether a fee was paid for the move.

    Hellberg: 'We need to adapt' to opposition

    Kim Hellberg says Middlesbrough's new arrivals Leo Castledine and Fin Munroe could feature at West Brom on Friday night (20:00 GMT).

    Attacking midfielder Castledine arrived from Chelsea on 9 January after a stellar loan spell with League One Huddersfield while left-back Munroe, also 20, joined from Aston Villa on Thursday after impressing on loan at League Two Swindon.

    Hellberg told BBC Radio Tees: "They are two young players that want to develop that suits the environment we have, I am happy with them.

    "They are, I think, ready to play in the first team, we'll see if it comes to that [on Friday]. Both will travel, but we'll see.

    "Leo you can see he is good playing around the box, scoring goals in different ways, good moving the ball, has power. He's a player who has done very good at Huddersfield and is now ready to take the next step.

    "He suits us in more of a high central position, but we'll learn.

    "Fin is a left-back, good up and down, good left foot, good physics."

    Hellberg would not be drawn on reports linking Boro with Brighton midfielder Jeremy Sarmiento, adding: "We'll see what happens. It's more about working with what I have here."

    The Swede said he had a "good conversation" with winger Sontje Hansen who was thought to be unhappy with his role, adding: "I don't think he meant what some people thought [on social media]. I don't make a big thing of that.

    "He's been training good. We have had a good conversation. It's more about his taking his chances when he gets them."

    Hellberg admitted it was tricky to know what to expect at The Hawthorns on Friday, with Eric Ramsay taking charge of his first game.

    "It's difficult to understand what they are going to do," he said. "West Brom have been playing a certain way, with a certain structure for a long time. Quite offensive, good on the ball, they have performed quite well, even if they have not got the results.

    "Minnesota played with a back five [under Ramsay] but it's difficult to know how much he will do or will want to change.

    "It's a tricky situation. We prepare for different things and have to be aware of different set-ups but that has been almost a theme since I have been here. Teams try to find different structures to stop our offensive play."

    Hellberg also revealed forwards Kaly Sene and David Strelec could return from injury lay-offs within 10 days, adding: "It's just a matter of time."
