Middlesbrough were held to a goalless against Blackburn - but how did each player fare at Ewood Park.
Boro dominated possession once again but couldn’t break the deadlock. Here’s how each player fared for Kim Hellberg’s side.
5. Adilson Malanda - 7
Helped prevent Blackburn counter attacks on the left of a back three and was comfortable on the ball. Made a few probing runs through the middle of the pitch to try and open Rovers up. 7 | Getty Images
6. Matt Targett - 6
Deliveries from set-pieces were mixed. Started as a left wing-back but was allowed as much space as he was at Birmingham, when he played in a similar position and scored twice. 6 | Getty Images
7. Aidan Morris - 5
Made a few loose passes in the first half but kept looking to get on the ball. Worked hard to win possession back when Boro did lose it but didn’t have the tools to unlock Blackburn’s backline. Also fired a first half effort into the side netting from inside the box. 5 | Getty Images
8. Alan Browne - 4
Started on the right of a front three and found it challenging. Over hit a few crosses and didn’t look suited to the role. Move into a central position later in the game. 4 | Getty Images
