Middlesbrough were held to a 2-2 draw with Swansea at the Swansea.com Stadium - but how did each player fare for Kim Hellberg’s side?
Boro took an early lead when Alex Bangura fired the ball past Swans keeper Lawrence Vigouroux in the 12th minute. Boro were then pegged back when Bangura fouled Liam Cullen and Žan Vipotnik converted from the spot.
Vipotnik then scored another penalty on the stroke of half-time following a foul from Boro keeper Sol Brynn on Eom Ji-sung.
Boro rallied in the second half, though, and earned a point after Callum Brittain was fouled in the box and Tommy Conway scored the subsequent penalty. Here’s how each Boro player fared:
5. Alex Bangura - 6
Made his first start since the start of January and opened the scoring with a powerful finish. Then gave away a penalty following a reckless challenge and was replaced in the 33rd minute following another injury setback. 6 | Getty Images
6. Aidan Morris - 7
A tireless performance in midfield. Worked hard to win the ball back and looked to drive the team forward. Unfortunate not to score when he broke into the box and saw a curling effort saved by goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux. 7 | Getty Images
7. Alan Browne - 6
Kept trying to move the team up the pitch from a central midfield position as the game drifted in the second half. Switched to right wing-back role after Hellberg made changes when Boro were pushing for a winner. 6 | Getty Images
