Swansea and Middlesbrough shared a goalless draw at the Liberty Stadium which does little to alleviate their respective Premier League relegation worries.
Hull's victory over West Ham on Saturday had left Swansea outside the drop zone only by virtue of them having a superior goal difference to the Tigers.
Middlesbrough's position is ever more precarious - five points adrift of Swansea, albeit with a game in hand - and they might come to rue substitute Rudy Gestede failing to accept the best chance of the match in stoppage time.
So a goalless draw, which highlighted the failings of both sides in front of goal, will only serve to encourage the teams around them.
