Middlesbrough played out a dramatic 3-2 win over York City in their second match of pre-season on Friday.
Chris Wilder had opted for a fairly weak starting line-up to take on the National League newcomers, with a brace from Calum Kavanagh and a third by Sonny Finch clinching the victory for the visitors.
Boro will travel to Portugal this week as they continue their pre-season campaign with a match against Braga, before returning to England for clashes with Morecambe and Marseille.
