Outstanding performance
Middlesbrough•MidfielderMiddlesbrough dominated possession with 65% and created significantly more chances, registering 29 shots to Swansea's 12, but were undone by poor penalty discipline in a thrilling 2-2 draw. Despite Alex Bangura's early opener and controlling the tempo throughout, Boro conceded three penalties - two converted by Zan Vipotnik to give Swansea an unlikely 2-1 halftime lead. Tommy Conway's 75th-minute penalty rescue act salvaged a point for the visitors, but they'll rue missing four big chances and allowing an inferior opponent to stay in the game through set-piece situations. The result highlights Middlesbrough's ongoing issue of converting dominance into victories, while Swansea showed remarkable resilience to earn a valuable point despite being outplayed for large periods.
