Middlesbrough were beaten 1-0 by Leeds United at the Riverside Stadium - but did anyone stand out for the hosts?
Michaeal Carrick’s side fell behind in the second minute when Leeds winger Dan James scored the only goal of the game.
Here’s how each Boro player fared:
5. Samuel Iling-Junior - 6
Mixed night for the Boro left-back. Allowed James to get ahead of him to score the opener and had a few difficult moments defensively. Gave his side an outlet going forward and delivered some inviting crosses into the box. 6 Photo: Nigel Roddis
6. Hayden Hackney - 7
Kept trying to play the ball forward as his side chased an equaliser, even if he made a few loose passes in the final third. Was a driving force for his team, especially in the second half. 7 | Getty Images

7. Aiden Morris - 7
Kept his side ticking in midfield, helping his teammates deal with Leeds’ press and winning the ball back. Another commendable display in the engine room. 7 | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
8. Finn Azaz - 5
Wasted a good chance in the second half when he was picked out at the far post with space to shoot. Not at his best as Boro were unable to find a breakthrough. 5 Photo: Molly Darlington
