Chelsea should beware Middlesbrough as Agnew's men show survival fight

This is a modal window.

Middlesbrough boss Steve Agnew is confident his side can spring a surprise at Chelsea.

Middlesbrough will take great confidence for the big three games ahead following their best performance of the season in a 2-2 draw against Manchester City at the Riverside last Sunday.

Steve Agnew's men will feel hard done by after midfield dynamo Marten de Roon was harshly adjudged to have brought down Leroy Sane in the Boro box (which video highlights later proved to be a dive). Without this error from referee Kevin Friend, the Teessiders could well have gone on to win this crucial game and kept their dwindling hopes of Premier League survival alive.
