Few would argue they deserved a point against Manchester United, but the season just goes from bad to worse.
Boro Heartache Again!
Few would argue they deserved a point against Manchester United, but the season just goes from bad to worse.
Martin Scott made three changes from the side beaten in the last minute at Newcastle last week with John Johnson, James Gray (replaced Shaun Saiko) and Jason Steele returning, with Kyle Oliver and David Knight dropping to the bench.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is boss of the United set-up.
With 15 seconds left of stoppage time, Johnson brought down substitute Stewart in the penalty area.
He was sent off and United won the game from the spot as Fabio sent Steele the wrong way.
Boro: Steele; Corker, Johnson, Robinson, Bennett, Gal-Andrezly (Martin 76), Gray, Smallwood (Capt), Cronesberry, Franks, Porritt (Otte 86). Unused subs: Knight (gk); Bassi, Oliver.
Man Utd: Zieler; De Laet, Evans (Capt), Gill, Fabio, Eikrem (Norwood 56), James, Possebon, Tosic, Martin, Brady (Stewart 76). Unused subs: Devlin, Derbyshire, Galbraith.
