6. Sam Morsy - 4
Missed a great chance to draw Boro level when his close-range effort was saved. Struggled to have an impact in midfield. 4 Photo: Getty Images
7. George Saville - 4
Tame header lead to the opener. Wasn’t able to have much of an impact going forward despite playing in a midfield three. 4 Photo: Getty Images
8. Jonny Howson - 4
Sat in front of the back four but wasn’t at his best. A few lapses in concentration left Boro exposed. 4 Photo: George Wood
