Woodwork
Boro give the ball away sloppily on the edge of their own area and it’s a huge chance for Bruno, but he fails to take advantage as his shot hits the right post.
70'
Maguire to the rescue
Boro look a different team, with Watmore at the heart of the change. He dashes forward and feeds Sporar in the area, but Maguire gets across with the saving tackle.

Crooks on target

Goal for Boro
Boro spring forward and the ball finds Watmore who collects it but his touch is not great and it hits his hand. Watmore flicks the ball over Henderson and Crooks puts the ball in. That must be a handball, but Anthony Taylor lets it stand. Controversial.

Substitution:
Boro make a change with Watmore on for Balogun. The forward fed on scraps for most of the evening.

Header over
Pogba glides past his marker and feeds Shaw. His cross picks out Ronaldo and he heads over the bar.
Hendo save
A rare Boro raid forward as Crooks shoots powerfully from 12 yards and Henderson dives to his left to make the save. Seen as he’d done nothing for the best part of an hour, it was a good stop.
55'
Side netting
United ramp up the pressure. Rashford dashes into space down the right, and cuts the ball back for Ronaldo whose powerful shot crashes into the side netting.
United close
Glorious play from United. Sancho escapes down the left, cuts back onto his right and delivers a superb ball to Rashford whose first-time shot goes just over. Sizzling stuff.
51'
Ronaldo close
Boro dice with danger as he ball is played back to Lumley as Ronaldo tries to pinch the ball. The ‘keeper gets there first and makes the clearance, but probably not wise to keep doing that sort of thing.

Half-time: Man Utd 1-0 Middlesbrough
United lead at the break and it's a deserved lead. Game should really be out of sight as they squandered other chances, Ronaldo's penalty the low-light, so Boro still in the hunt.
45'
Refreshment-gate
There could be anarchy, as the PA system has just said there will be no food or drink served at half-time due to a technical problem. How can that happen? We want our pies.

Pogba card
Pogba loses possession and in attempting to win it back, commits a foul on Tavernier and is cautioned.
Yellow card
P. Pogba

Look away, Cristiano

Shot saved
Bruno picks out Ronaldo with a superb pass and he does not have to break stride. He lets fly, but it is beaten away by Lumley.

Disallowed Goal!
Rashford with a thunderbolt and Lumley is left grasping at thin air, but he's strayed fractionally offside.
