After falling behind to a Ryan Yates header midway through the second half, Paddy McNair equalised for the visitors from the penalty spot nine minutes from time. Our Boro writer Joe Nicholson has dished out his player ratings following the match. Scroll down and flick though our gallery to see who shone and struggled:
1. Jonny Howson - 6
Another solid performance in the heart of defence before switching to right-back. Was the closest player to Yates when the Forest man headed home the opener. 6 Photo: Getty Images
2. Dael Fry - 7
Was part of a back three which soaked up waves of pressure. Strong in the air and on the ground. 7 Photo: Getty Images
3. Djed Spence - 6
Acquitted himself well at right wing-back before being replaced in the second half. Struggled to get forward as much as he did against Charlton last time out. 6 Photo: FRANK REID
4. Hayden Coulson - 7
Dived in a couple of times early on but was Boro’s best attacking threat for most of the match with his forays forward down the left. 7 Photo: Jan Kruger
