Newcastle v Middlesbrough
AN uninspiring 110th Tyne-Tees league derby ended in a bore draw.
The was were very few chances in a game which was dominated by both team's defences. There was little to choose between both sides but if anything the home side shaded it on chances. Obafemi Martins and Kieron Dyer had the best opportunities. A great one handed save by Mark Schwarzer in the first half denied Martins before a poor first touch denied Dyer from opening the score.
Schwarzer was once again the Boro hero in the last minute when he saved a flying header from Scott Parker.
