Middlesbrough came from behind twice to claim a 2-2 draw at Preston - but who stood out for Rob Edwards’ side?
Boro fell behind in the first half when Preston forward Lewis Dobbin fired home from the edge of the box. After a bright start to the second half, the visitors’ then drew level when new signing Matt Targett converted from inside the box with 18 minutes remaining.
There was still time for a dramatic finish, though, as Preston defender Jordan Storey headed the hosts ahead two minutes from time. Boro then equalised again in stoppage time after Sontje Hansen’s shot was turned in by Alan Browne.
Here’s how each Boro player fared:
5. Callum Brittain - 7
Another strong showing from Boro’s right wing-back. Regularly got forward and provided a threat on the flank. Saw a goal ruled out for offside in the second half. 7 | Getty Images
6. Aiden Morris - 7
Was regularly available to receive the ball in Boro’s midfield, especially when his side were under pressure against Preson’s aggressive press in the first half. 7 | Getty Images
7. Hayden Hackney - 6
Looked to play the ball forward and quicken the pace of the game, even if his passes didn’t always come off. Replaced in the closing stages after taking a knock. 6 | Getty Images
8. Matt Targett - 7
Looked to get forward from left wing-back and was rewarded when he arrived late in the box to make it 1-1. Was put on set-pieces yet deliveries didn’t come to anything of note. 7 | Getty Images
