Viduka, Yakubu praisedMiddlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate has hailed the partnership of his in-form strike force following their impressive performance during the 2-1 win over Reading on the weekend.
Southgate said: "They are feeding off of each other and are a handful for other teams.
"I think we could have got the ball in to them a lot more today. I thought we played backwards and square a bit too much at times and invited Reading to put us under pressure but we are still learning how to win matches and it was an important win for us.
"We made life difficult for ourselves that is for sure. At 2-0 you hope to see the game out but you have to give Reading a lot of credit.
"That symbolises what they are about, they never stop and they were probably worthy of a goal on the day. They didn't do enough to win the game, but they pushed us all the way."
