Boro are looking to get back to winning ways against Wigan tomorrow night after losing 2-0 at Leicester City on Saturday.
Aitor Karanka said his side were victims of poor decision making from referee Steve Martin at the King Power Stadium - but added that his players should have responded better.
In the build-up to City’s opening goal, the ball appeared to go out of play before David Nugent brushed away Daniel Ayala and crossed for Jamie Vardy to score.
“They took advantage of the referee’s decision to take the lead and we fell behind,” said the head coach.
“The ball was out but it was not a foul (on Ayala).
“We need to learn, we can concede a goal but we need to keep working.
"The game is not finished when the referee makes a mistake, it’s not an excuse.
“We were playing a team at the top of the table and you can’t make mistakes.
"You have to give 120% against them and we were doing that until the referee made his mistake."
