Teenage star Giles Barnes, Matt Oakley and substitute Jay McEveley - who had replaced the injured Andy Griffin in the 29th minute - all tried their luck from distance.

inch-perfect ball

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

Mark Schwarzer, returning in goal after missing the last two matches with a broken thumb, was smartly down on each occasion to smother the respective shots on his goal-line.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

Derby's best effort in the opening 45 minutes came within a minute of Tuncay's sweet strike, with Kenny Miller clipping the outside of the right-hand post with a shot on the turn from the edge of the area.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

The only other moment of quality had earlier arrived in the fourth minute.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

Taking advantage of the open space at left-back, Tuncay played an inch-perfect ball into the feet of Gary O'Neil, resulting in a searing angled drive that was superbly saved by Bywater.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

The Rams goalkeeper then kept his side in the match eight minutes into the second half as Boro should have killed it off.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

But Bywater produced a stunning fingertip stop to turn a first-time drive from Downing inches past the left-hand post following an electrifying break to Tuncay to tee up the England winger.

greater stability

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

Moments later, and with Derby's defence rocking, Boro captain George Boateng then planted a header against the left-hand post after diving onto a cross inside the area from Fabio Rochemback.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

It prompted Jewell into a positive change as he brought on last week's goalscorer in the 4-1 defeat at Manchester United in striker Steve Howard for Gary Teale in the 56th minute.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

With the Rams playing 4-4-2, and with Barnes switched to his more natural right-wing position, it offered Derby greater stability.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

It was Barnes who had Derby's best two chances in a closing 30 minutes they primarily dominated as Boro were forced to defend in numbers.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

But one 20-yard effort was dragged wide, while another from just inside the area was coolly plucked out of the air by Schwarzer.

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:33 PM

"It's tough when you're at the bottom of the League. But in the three games since I have been here, and that's all I can judge the players on, they certainly have not lacked in effort."
- Paul Jewell

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:33 PM

"He (Tuncay) gives us incredible enthusiasm and energy. He took on an effort that two weeks ago he probably wouldn't have done because of his confidence. But after scoring two in two coming into this game he has now settled."
- Gareth Southgate

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:33 PM

Derby County 0-1 Middlesbrough

Freddy Adu · 12-16-2007, 01:33 PM

A sensational goal from Tuncay Sanli gave Middlesbrough their second consecutive win as they eased past rock-bottom Derby County 1-0. Stewart Downing burst free down the left flank and his cross was met by Tuncay, who fired a majestic first-time volley past Stephen Bywater.
