Boro 1 Swansea City 0

Stephen Pears was in the 4th game of his first 6 game loan spell & having only conceded the one goal in his previous three had another blank this afternoon
Boro were in 13th place with Swansea rock bottom of the second division & no away wins to their name either, typical Boro on the cards!

No not this time, Heine Ott scored the only goal of the game recording his 4th goal of the season, keeping all three points on Teesside
 
Big Mal's team.
