John Obi Mikel grows grey hair over Middlesbrough's ‘cruel’ fate

Middlesbrough's dry patch in front of goal has been described by midfielder John Mikel Obi as ‘cruel’ and ‘unbelievable’.

On Tuesday, Bristol City defeated Boro 1-0 at the Riverside with Adam Webster's first-half header making the difference.
