A solitary Mateusz Klich strike in first half stoppage time was enough to hand the Whites all three points at the Riverside as Marcelo Bielsa's men made it three wins on the bounce. Here's how we scored the performance...
1. Kiko Casilla
8 - One superb save, some vital punches or catches from tricky crosses. | jpimedia
2. Luke Ayling
6 - Coulson got the better of him a number of times which gave Boro a real threat on that side. On other occasions he showed all his experience. | jpimedia
3. Liam Cooper
8 - Solid, physical, clever, reliable. When Boro were putting on the pressure, he stood tall. | jpimedia
4. Gaetano Berardi
7 - A steady enough performance. Dived in a couple of times but got away with it. | jpimedia
5. Stuart Dallas
7 - Should have scored, linked up with Harrison really well, had his hands full defensively with Tavernier but was equal to the challenge | jpimedia
6. Ben White
6 - Quiet. Couldn't dictate like Phillips does. Made some important tackles. | jpimedia
