End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME! Boro hold Manchester City to a draw! Marten De Roon's goal in added time cancels out Sergio Aguero's first-half goal! After such joy in mid-week, this is a disappointing result for Man City and Pep Guardiola.
90'+3
Boro have had their chances but gaining a point at the Etihad always looked unlikely. Now, they're just a minute from earning a draw!
90'+1
GOAL! Man City 1-1 Boro - The visitors have pulled level with a goal in added time! De Roon ruins Pep Guardiola's day. This is unbelievable! De Roon heads in from Friend's cross!

CHANCE! Nolito finds Aguero inside the penalty area but the Argentine somehow puts it over with a first time effort. He should have wrapped up the points for City.

Second change of the match for City as Alex Garcia comes on for Navas who has enjoyed a solid game.

Fisher uses his pace to carve an opening but his attempted through ball to Negredo is cut out. Time is running out for Boro who look like they have run out of steam.
83'
Both sides look tired. But the managers can still make two changes each and you'd expect Aitor Karanka to make the first move.
82'
Bad news for Boro as their rivals Sunderland are currently leading Bournemouth 2-1. Things are tight at the bottom...
80'
De Bruyne wants a penalty! He's outmuscled by Friend inside the penalty area and goes to ground but the referee isn't interested.
79'
Sergio Aguero's goal on 43 minutes is still the difference between the teams.
78'
Boro finally make a change! Viktor Fisher replaces Downing for the remaining 12 minutes. Can the Danish winger make a difference?

CHANCE! Fernandinho concedes possession as Boro break through De Roon. He tees up Downing who screws his shot well wide. Disappointing - he had better options with team mates in good areas.
71'
But they have fewer than 20 minutes to find an equaliser...
70'
Boro have only lost one of their five away league games this season and they're far from out of this contest just yet.
66'
De Bruyne's cross finds Aguero who can't find the target with a header. Aitor Karanka will be furious the City striker won the ball inside the penalty area with Chambers beaten for height.
