Steve Agnew critical of Leroy Sane penalty in Boro draw with Man City

This is a modal window.

Leroy Sane won a dubious penalty that could leave Middlesbrough feeling slighted of all three points.

Middlesbrough interim boss Steve Agnew criticised the controversial penalty decision against Manchester City which left his side's Premier League survival hopes hanging by a thread.

Boro were 1-0 up at the Riverside Stadium through Alvaro Negredo's early strike when referee Kevin Friend pointed to the spot after Marten de Roon collided with City substitute Leroy Sane in the box. Sergio Aguero made no mistake from the spot, converting in the 69th minute.

Calum Chambers put Boro back in front only for the returning Gabriel Jesus to salvage a late point for the visitors in a 2-2 draw.
