Middlesbrough recorded their fifth successive Championship win after a 1-0 win over Norwich - but how did each player fare at the Riverside?
Hayden Hackney scored the only goal of the game courtesy of an excellent strike in the first half. Here’s how each Boro player performed:

5. Matt Targett - 8
Showed his quality at left-back and was composed on the ball. Played some fine passes forward when Boro’s forwards had space to run in behind. Contributed to another clean sheet. 8 | Getty Images

6. Aidan Morris - 7
Tenacious in midfield. Had a few unconvincing moments when he dropped deep and Boro tried to play out from the back, including one blind pass across his own box. Recovered well and forced a Norwich error by applying pressure in the lead up to Hackney’s opener. 7 | Getty Images

7. Alan Browne - 7
His versatility continues to be a big asset. Started on the right of midfield and plugged gaps when Boro didn’t have the ball. Linked up well with Brittain and was calm in possession. 7 | Getty Images

8. Hayden Hackney - 9
Immense in midfield. Drove the team forward and scored a crucial opener with an arrowed effort into the top corner. Opened up space for others as glided past Norwich players through midfield. 9 | Getty Images
