Commons kills off Boro

28 September 2010 23:30
Kris Commons produced two moments of magic as Derby heaped more pressure on Middlesbrough boss Gordon Strachan with a 3-1 win. Boro took the lead in an entertaining npower Championship clash at Pride Park when Kris Boyd, restored to the starting line-up after being dropped for the previous two games, glanced in his second goal for the club. But Derby responded and after Commons had a penalty saved by Jason Steele, they equalised just before half-time when Commons' corner was headed home by Shaun Barker. Commons was the star of the show in the second half as he produced two classy finishes to give the Rams a second consecutive home victory which prompted County fans to taunt Strachan with chants of 'you're getting sacked in the morning'.
