9. Leo Castledine - 7
Was allowed to play in a number 10 position when Boro had the ball but showed discipline to drop into a deeper central midfield position out of possession. Looked lively and did well to drive forward with the ball. 7 | Nick Potts/PA Wire

10. Jeremy Sarmiento - 6
Was on the fringes of the game in the first half but was more influential after the interval. Delivered the cross into the box which led to Lankshear’s winner. 6
