How we rated the Irons v Boro

Randolph: No chance with the goal – one particularly great save, otherwise safe as houses 6

Byram: Growing up fast – barely a foot wrong – do we need a right back  now? 7

Reid: Usual composed performance when under pressure 7

Ogbonna: Maybe rose to the challenge of Mr Fonte arriving – no complaints 7

Cresswell: Could have cost us with an attempted clearance against bar and looking shakier than we are used to 5

Antonio: 100 per cent as ever. Scares defender to death 7

Obiang: Sheer quality again some fine closing down and seriously picks out a pass 8

Noble: Fine corner for AC’s first – worked hard but off again with injury 6

Lanzini: Always at the heart of our attacking efforts but should have scored when put clear 7

Feghouli: Great first half setting up some fine attacking moves and putting in a shift defensively 7

Carroll: Awesome striker display – two goals and always a menace. Off with groin injury. 8 

SUBS:

Fernandes (53) Composed and steady – top player in the making 6

Calleri (67) Worked hard to impress on first appearance since October, will have confidence from goal and showed good movement 6

Collins (83) Brought on as Boro pressed forward and what you would expect – rock solid to all aerial threats 5
