Middlesbrough's final home game of the season ended in another depressing defeat as Southampton sauntered through an easy afternoon's work. The atmosphere at the Riverside turned decidedly toxic at 2-0 -- with local lad Stewart Downing a particular focus of the fans' fury. Patrick Bamford gave some pride to the occasion with his first goal back at the club when he headed home an impressive corner by Viktor Fischer.
Positives
Quite simply the only positive from the game is that Boro escaped with the score at merely 2-1.
