Middlesbrough got back to winning ways in the Championship with a 3-1 win over West Brom - but how did each player fare for Kim Hellberg’s side.
Following a goalless first half, Boro opened the scoring when Will Lankshear headed home the opener after Morgan Whittaker’s effort rebounded off the post.
West Brom then equalised courtesy of Jimmy-Jay Morgan’s header, before Lankshear netted a second and Alfie Jones added a third.
Here’s how each Boro player fared:
9. Morgan Whittaker - 5
Conceded possession too often in the first half but did have a few bright moments going forward. Curling effort hit the post before Lankshear headed in the opener. 5

10. Riley McGree - 7
Missed a decent chance in the first half when he intercepted a loose pass. Looked dangerous when he received the ball in the number 10 position and split West Brom open with a first-time pass in the build up to Lankshear’s opener. 7 | Getty Images
11. Will Lankshear - 8
Didn’t have many touches but was crucially alive in the box to convert when Boro needed him. Just what the side were missing last season. 8 | Getty Images
12. Max Arfsten - 6
(for Sarmiento, 40) Operated on the right flank after Sarmiento’s injury. Looked comfortable on the ball when he received it but didn’t have many chances to run at the opposition defence. 6 | Emilee Chinn/Getty Images
