Match in a Minute: Middlesbrough 3-0 Swansea
Saturday 17 December 2016 20:22, UK
Phil Thompson analyses Middlesbrough's 3-0 win against Swansea City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Striker Alvaro Negredo scored twice at the Riverside to give the home side a 2-0 lead at the break, the first a brilliant volley before the Spain international then added another from the penalty spot.
And Boro wrapped up the points when Marten De Roon side-footed home just before the hour mark to end a poor recent run of two straight league defeats without scoring.
As a result, Aitor Karanka's side have now jumped up to 14th in the table, four points from the drop zone, while the Swans are 19th and three points from safety.
