MIDDLESBROUGH (5-3-1-1):

8 Randolph: Came into his own in the second half and made a number of important saves and catches;

7 Shotton: Unfortunate not to at least test the keeper during an impressive first half from him

7 Ayala: Strong defensively from start to finish to frustrated Bamford and Co

7 Flint: Enjoyed a similar afternoon to sidekick Ayala even though he can’t believe how he didn’t score

6 Fry: Had a few shakier moments than the defenders alongside him

8 Friend: Got down the line regularly to support the attacks and enjoyed an assist;

8 MIKEL: Don’t think he has given the ball away in any of his outings so far

7 Wing: Took his goal well and was a handful throughout for Leeds

6 Howson: Got through an enormous amount of running in both directions

6 Saville: Faded after the restart but enjoyed a strong first half when

6 Hugill: Worked his socks off in the final third and led the line well without testing the keeper
