Middlesbrough got back to winning ways with a 2-0 win over West Brom at the Riverside - but who stood out for Michael Carrick’s side?
The hosts opened the scoring just before the hour mark when Hayden Hackney’s low shot from distance beat goalkeeper Alex Palmer.
Boro then doubled their lead as Ben Doak curled an excellent effort into the top corner seven minutes from time. Here’s how each player fared:

7. Hayden Hackney - 7
Looked like he was allowed to express himself more in the first half with Morris providing cover behind him. Opened the scoring with a low, long-range effort from the edge of the box. 7 | Getty Images
8. Ben Doak - 7
Was having a frustrating game as West Brom often doubled up on the winger. The Liverpool loanee remained a threat, though, and sealed the win with an excellent strike into the top corner. 7 | Getty Images
