Middlesbrough claimed their first win of the season after a 2-1 win over Southampton – but how did each player fare for Michael Carrick’s side?
The hosts fell behind in the 17th minute when Adam Armstrong converted Che Adams’ pass with a low finish past goalkeeper Seny Dieng.
Boro responded well, though, drawing level just before half-time when Riley McGree equalised with a low strike from the edge of the box.
Carrick’s side then claimed all three points after Josh Coburn was fouled by Saints defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis in the box, allowing Jonny Howson to convert from the spot.
Here’s how each Boro player fared at the Riverside Stadium:
