Middlesbrough beat Sheffield United 1-0 at the Riverside - but who stood out for Michael Carrick’s side?
After a goalless first half, Boro striker Emmanuel Latte Lath came off the bench and headed home the winner ten minutes from time.
Here’s how each player fared for the hosts:
5. Neto Borges - 7
Tucked in well at left-back at times in the first half when crosses came in from the opposite flank. Managed to venture forward a few times but deliveries into the box were erratic. 7 | AFP via Getty Images
6. Aiden Morris - 8
Fired a late effort just over the bar and would have deserved a goal. Often calm in possession and kept Boro on the front foot. Took up some intelligent positions in front of his side’s defense in the first half when Boro were under pressure. 8 | Getty Images
7. Hayden Hackney - 7
Misplaced a few passes in promising positions but kept trying to play the ball forward. Was involved in some slick build-up play which allowed the hosts to advance up the pitch. 7 Photo: OLI SCARFF

8. Riley McGree - 7
Drifted in from the left and found some dangerous pockets of space to help his side get into some promising attacking areas. Saw a decent effort saved by goalkeeper Michael Cooper from a tight angle after the break. 7 | Getty Images
