Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka has admitted that he was proud of his side's response to their defeat to Bristol City last week following their 3-1 away win over Sheffield Wednesday.
The North-East outfit took the lead just before the break through Adam Reach, but the Owls fought back in the second half thanks to a strike from Marco Matias.
However, Diego Fabbrini restored Boro's advantage and Christian Stuani secured the three points with a late strike at Hillsborough.
Karanka told BBC Sport: "I am proud of my team. All the players did well because it was a difficult game, especially after our defeat last Saturday at home.
"This season I have players on the bench who can change games like Adam Forshaw, Stuani and David Nugent. You feel that they can make a difference on the pitch.
"When players are on the bench sometimes they are not happy, but they understand and they are always fighting for each other."
Karanka's men are currently sixth in the Championship.
