WATCH: Middlesbrough 3-0 Swansea City
Sunday 18 December 2016 00:06, UK
Alvaro Negredo scored twice as goal-shy Middlesbrough got back to winning ways before Christmas with a 3-0 success which sent Swansea deeper into the relegation zone on Saturday.
The Spaniard had netted just three times for the Premier League strugglers, failing to score in 13 of his previous 15 appearances, since his summer signing.
But the 31-year-old forward was on target after 18 minutes at the Riverside off an Adam Clayton cross and 11 minutes later converted Boro's first penalty of the season after Jordi Amat tripped up Adam Forshaw in the box.
Dutch midfielder Marten de Roon added a third on 58 minutes off a pin-point Gaston Ramirez cross as Boro rallied to just their fourth win since promotion from the Championship.
The result means Middlesbrough move above champions Leicester to 14th place as Swansea drop to second bottom.
