Mendieta strikes for Boro

Nuneaton 0 Middlesbrough 1

Gaizka Mendieta put the dampeners on Conference North side Nuneaton’s FA Cup party with a stunning free-kick to give Middlesbrough the lead.

Mendieta struck against the run of play with Nuneaton having looked the better side and the impressive part-timers were unlucky not to have scored themselves before the break.
