Alves: I'll score more for Boro

Middlesbrough striker Afonso Alves has told his Boro fans that they should expect to see more goals from him this season after finally breaking his duck against Manchester United at the weekend, grabbing an impressive brace.

Alves said: "Of course it was a dream come true to score against Manchester United but don't get me wrong, I want to do the same against other teams as well.

"I needed time and patience but I knew the goals would come. I was not worried when I missed the chances against Chelsea because I knew it was only a matter of time before I got goals.

"It is only natural that I am happy I scored but I would have had a lot more to smile about if we had won."
