Aitor Karanka calls for calm after thrashing Norwich City

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka has urged his players not to become complacent following the 4-0 victory over Norwich City.

Karanka's side climbed to second in the Championship table with the emphatic win over their promotion rivals, but he is keen to avoid looking too far ahead as their bid to return to the Premier League continues.

"We have very good players and a very good squad," the Spaniard told reporters. "We are in a very good way but these kind of games cannot confuse us into thinking everything is done.

"I am very happy and very pleased but we want to keep our feet on the ground. We would like to be in this position in May."

Middlesbrough meet leaders Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
