Notes
Tueart was booked for protesting the first goal (which was a direct breakaway after a probable handball in the Boro penalty area), and then sent off (along with Kerr) for protracted protests (which also saw Montgomery booked) over the second goal, which looked to have a Boro foul in the build up. The referee was a late stand-in for Keith Styles, who was ill.
