Match in a Minute: Middlesbrough 2-0 Bournemouth
Saturday 29 October 2016 19:30, UK
Matt Le Tissier looks back on Middlesbrough's clash with Bournemouth at the Riverside stadium.
A stunning goal from Gaston Ramirez and a second from Stewart Downing earned Middlesbrough a deserved 2-0 win over Bournemouth at the Riverside.
Ramirez broke the deadlock six minutes before the break when he collected the ball inside his own half and burst forward, before cutting inside on to his right foot and slotting home a superb solo goal.
And though Bournemouth came out after half-time looking for a response, Boro got a second when Adama Traore curled a delicious cross with the outside of his boot on to the head of Alvaro Negredo, who nodded across goal for Downing to tuck home in the 56th minute.
The visitors pushed for a comeback, but had their efforts stunted by an injury to Andrew Surman after manager Eddie Howe had made all three of his substitutions, and the 10-man Cherries were unable to breach Boro's organised back-line.
