Keegan clears Jihai of ‘bizarre’ own goal that sends Boro to top half of table

Manchester City 0 Middlebrough 1

The unlucky Chinese full-back produced Middlesbrough’s only shot on target during the entire 90 minutes when he was caught out by Richard Dunne’s failure to clear Gaizka Mendieta’s 29th minute right-wing cross.

Yet his prod past startled Danish goalkeeper Kevin Stuhr-Ellegaard proved enough to give Boro a 1-0 win as City’s barren scoring run extended to almost seven and a half hours.
