Middlesbrough recorded an impressive 1-0 win over Premier League side Chelsea in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final - but who stood out at the Riverside?
Michael Carrick’s suffered two early injury setbacks as both Emmanuel Latte Lath and Alex Bangura were forced inside 20 minutes.
The hosts took the lead eight minutes before half-time, though, with Hayden Hackney converting Isaiah Jones’ low cross. It means Boro will take a 1-0 lead into the second leg at Stamford Bridge later this month.
Here’s how each Middlesbrough player fared at the Riverside Stadium:
1. Tom Glover - 6
Was fortunate when he spilled a few shots from distance, especially one which dropped to Cole Palmer just before half-time, but kept a clean sheet to give Boro a first-leg lead. 6 Photo: George Wood
2. Rav van den Berg - 8
Started on the right of a back three and moved to right-back in a four after Bangura’s injury. Adapted well and got tight to Chelsea’s attacking players to prevent danger. 8 Photo: George Wood
3. Dael Fry - 8
Regularly positioned himself well in the heart of Boro’s defence to stop crosses and keep Chelsea’s expensive forward line out. A commanding display. 8 Photo: Ben Roberts Photo
4. Lukas Engel - 8
Defended well against Chelsea wideman Noni Madueke and was able to make a few forays forward from left-back. An impressive all-round display. 8 Photo: Catherine Ivill
