Boro win marred by fracas

Middlesbrough 1, Everton 0

The pair clashed after Wayne Rooney tumbled in the penalty area and needed treatment. Boro put the ball out for a throw and when Thomas Gravesen attempted to return it upfield, his clearance was charged down by Boudewijn Zenden.

There followed a heated, finger-jabbing confrontation on the touchline between McClaren and Moyes which ended with the managers being kept apart by a steward.
