Middlesbrough played out an entertaining 3-3 draw against Spanish side Espanyol at the Riverside - but how did each player fare for Kim Hellberg’s side?
Boro took an early lead when Leo Castledine was set up by teenager Fin Cartwright but were quickly pegged back.
Morgan Whittaker then restored the hosts’ advantage, before Espanyol draw level in the first half. Espanyol scored again shortly after the break, yet Castledine netted his second to complete the scoring from a corner.
