After goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg's controversial own goal, Gareth Barry equallised before Seamus Coleman and Romelu Lukaku turned things around before half time. "Maybe we needed a yes and no mistake of the referee as after that we showed really good football, were more aggressive," Koeman said.
"I think Middlesbrough started better but there was great character of the team being 1-0 down at home and it was 3-1 by half-time. It was really enjoyable how we played."
