THE NOTEBOOK: How Middlesbrough star honours his fallen friend, scorer Hayden Hackney is on the radar of top Premier League clubs... and there's a bad omen for Thiago Silva

Chelsea's miserable season continued on Tuesday night as they lost 1-0 to Middlesbrough in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Luckily for Mauricio Pochettino's side, they will have a chance to put things right back at Stamford Bridge in two week's time in the second leg of the tie in a bid to reach Wembley.

Hayden Hackney's goal was enough to secure the win for the hosts, with Chelsea's three-game winning run coming to an end at the hands of Championship opposition.

Blues defender Thiago Silva also made headlines, approaching a frustrated away end at full time.
