Alvaro Negredo already had a taste of Premier League football at Manchester City, but after a disappointing campaign at Sevilla, arrived at Middlesbrough with low expectations. After a successful pre-season, he slotted straight into the Middlesbrough lineup.
The Spaniard won 6 aerial duels and showed tremendous heart and desire to get on the end of a Gaston Ramirez cross to score Boro's only goal in the opening exchanges of the game.

After a brief and undistinguished stint as an electrical engineer, Arvind discovered his true calling was churning out hyperbolic prose about athletes he had never met.
A writer and editor with close to a decade’s experience, Arvind’s work has been published on Sky Sports, the BBC, the Guardian and other leading websites. He has attended multiple Grand Slams on the ground and provided coverage for Super Bowls and the NBA playoffs.
As a lifelong fan of Arsenal and the Indianapolis Colts, he has mastered the art of managing expectations and can convince anyone that finishing fourth is a moral victory.
When not armchair quarterbacking, Arvind spends his time playing blitz chess online, watching air crash documentaries and smashing controllers after his latest Weekend League defeat.
