Comments:

League position: 16th Middlesbrough keeper Brad Guzan had now kept consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League for the first time since January 2015. Boro had lost four of their preceding five Premier League games. 19 goals had now been scored at the Riverside Stadium so far in this Premier League season; fewer than at any other ground. Adam Clayton was booked in the second minute of added time in the second-half.

Comments:

League position: 14th Leicester City were now without a win in their last 12 away games in the Premier League (lost seven). The Foxes had now taken 21 points from their 20 games in this Premier League season; the lowest total by the reigning champions at this stage in the competition's history. Wes Morgan had now played in each of City's last 81 Premier League games; the longest current such run by any player in the division.
