Towler and Swanson summoned from their warm-ups

Huge chance as Murphy turns over the ball and Lang then puts the winger clear but he blazes wide from inside the box with the goal gaping. Big miss.

But Boro a serious threat on the counter.

It’s a peach of a through ball from Potts to free Ritchie who takes a touch and slips the ball home - game on!

RITCHIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Poor from Williams as he gives Burgzorg the space to shoot in the box - fortunately it’s wide of the far post.
