Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Middlesbrough's Premier League clash with Watford from the RIverside Stadium. On paper, this clash is possibly not the most attractive of propositions, but fear not, only Liverpool's matches this season have featured more goals than Watford encounters. Both are yet to taste victory in October, so expect an open game. I'm Pete Hall (@PeteHall86), and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

Poor game in truth, but Watford won't care. Wonderful goal to win it from Jose Holebas, lashing the ball into the top corner. Very little other goalmouth action to mention. Middlesbrough offered next to nothing as an attacking threat. They could really be in trouble. Watford up to ninth. Thanks for joining us. Full report and reaction to come on site. Goodbye.
90+6'
FT: Middlesbrough 0-1 Watford. Hosts remain winless at home as Holebas strike wins it for visitors.
90+5'
Ramirez tries to flick the ball through for Rhodes, but again there is a Watford foot in the way.
90+3'
Deeney compounding the hosts' frustrations, holding off several defenders to waste more time.
90+2'
Watford running the clock down at every opportunity. Boro look done.
90"
Six (6) minutes of added time here! Time for two goals!
88'
Puzzling that it has taken this long for Jordan Rhodes to enter the fray. He gets two minutes, plus stoppage time, in place of De Roon.
87'
That's it for Success's debut. Impressive afternoon. Ben Watson takes his place.
86'
Success takes a tumble, much to the delight of the home fans, who have had little to cheer about all afternoon.
84'
Christian Kabasele comes on in place of the injured Britos for Watford.
83'
Success wins a free-kick after a foul from De Roon. Decent debut from the former Granada man.
81'
Negredo looks a little off the pace. A 66 per cent pass success rate is not a good return so far.
80'
Chambers this time goes to ground on the edge of the box, but nothing is given. Correct decision.
79'
De Roon in the thick of it again, but he times his jump all wrong and heads wide from a free-kick.
78'
De Roon is cautioned for some off-the-ball dissent.
76'
CLOSE! Success shows great feet to make space for shot, but fires straight at Valdes.
75'
Traore centre it, looks to be heading for Negredo, but again Watford get the ball clear.
73'
Delay in play as Deeney and Ramirez collide. Looked nasty initially, but both seem to be okay.
72'
Boro have gone a little off the boil after a good spell. An equaliser looks a world away...
71'
Change for Watford, with Juan Zuniga coming on in place of Amrabat, who was on a booking.
