Steve Agnew believes Middlesbrough do have the firepower to remain in the Premier League despite drawing a blank in draw at Swansea City

Caretaker boss Steve Agnew insists Middlesbrough do possess the scoring power to stay in the Premier League after drawing another blank at Swansea.

Boro claimed only their second away point since the end of November with a battling goalless draw at the Liberty Stadium, but it was another frustrating day in front of goal for the Premier League's lowest scorers.

They managed only one attempt on target in 90 minutes and substitute Rudy Gestede headed a glorious opportunity wide in the final seconds when he had the goal at his mercy.

'We've introduced a lot of different things to scoring a goal and attacking,' Agnew said on the style of play he has worked on since succeeding Aitor Karanka last month.
