Boro grab UEFA Cup place

Middlesbrough qualified for the UEFA Cup after a dramatic injury-time penalty save from Mark Schwarzer ensured a 1-1 draw against Manchester City at Eastlands.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink opened the scoring after firing an unstoppable drive past David James.

Kiki Musampa levelled with a good strike under pressure from Ugo Ehiogu and Gareth Southgate but Robbie Fowler missed from the spot in the final stages.

Needing just a point to secure European qualification, Boro would have been overtaken if City won.

Tottenham, needing to win convincingly to have any chance of finishing seventh, could not find a way past Blackburn in a scoreless match at White Hart Lane.

Robbie Keane was preferred to England striker Jermain Defoe in attack, and Martin Jol’s side were frustrated by Rovers.
