Vibrant Villa end ’Boro’s home run

Middlesbrough 2

Such has been Middlesbrough's strange season excellent at home, hopeless away it should perhaps have been little surprise that their record should have been undone by a team who had previously scored only four away goals this campaign.

Villa more than doubled their tally in 90 minutes, though thanks in large part to Middlesbrough who handed the visitors their two goals through feeble mistakes.
