Wayne Rooney endured a losing start to his first match in charge of Birmingham as Morgan Rogers’ last-gasp effort snatched a 1-0 victory for Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

The result moved Michael Carrick’s side just one point behind his former team-mate Rooney’s seventh-placed City, who lost for a fourth game in a row on the road.
