Boro batter Swans
Middlesbrough's bid to make an immediate return to the Premier League belatedly began at Swansea's Liberty Stadium as Gareth Southgate's men came away with an impressive 3-0 win.
Having being held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Sheffield United in their opening fixture last weekend, Boro showed their promotion credentials against the Swans who are struggling to adapt to life after Roberto Martinez.
Adam Johnson, Marvin Emnes and Tuncay grabbed the goals for the north-east outfit, earning them a first league win over their opponents since 1983.
Boro were certainly the more composed of the two sides in the early exchanges and they deservedly went ahead with 32 minutes gone, although there was a hint of fortune about Johnson's opener when his cross evaded everyone and flew in.
Dutch playmaker Emnes struggled with injuries last season, but helped to banish those memories as he let fly with a 20-yard drive which flew into the top corner to make it two.
Turkey striker Tuncay, who is expected to leave Boro before the transfer window shuts, grabbed the third when he bundled home Johnson's corner eight minutes from time.
