Outstanding performance
Middlesbrough•MidfielderBurnley took the lead against the run of play when Aidan Morris pounced on a loose ball following a corner and a flurry of blocked efforts, but Middlesbrough's control of possession (58%) and territory eventually told. Ugo Raghouber, who had seen his own shot blocked in the build-up to Burnley's goal, made amends just after the hour mark by turning home Zeki Amdouni's assist to level things. Middlesbrough were the more fluent side throughout, dominating dangerous attacks 66-47 and creating three big chances to Burnley's none, though wastefulness in front of goal - missing all three - meant they had to settle for a share of the spoils. For high-flying Middlesbrough sat top of the table, the draw is a minor stumble in an otherwise strong campaign, while Burnley will take encouragement from grinding out a point despite being second-best for long periods.

Kick-off has occurred!
Burnley's dire start to the season hits rock bottom as they welcome a rejuvenated Middlesbrough side to Turf Moor. With Burnley sitting rock-bottom and winless, and Boro riding high on momentum from a big win over West Brom, this looks like a mismatch on paper — but the Clarets will be desperate to salvage pride at home.
