Middlesbrough finally succumbed to relegation with a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday evening. The northeast club were simply outclassed and overshadowed in all areas of the park and the performance will hold up as indicative of the season as a whole -- forgettable, lamentable and, at times, spineless.
Positives
Boro fans were in fine voice on an evening when their team went down and Chelsea further extended their lead at the top of the table.
