#3 Standout player: Alvaro Negredo
Match: Middlesbrough vs. Swansea City
Trending
Goals have come sparsely for Aitor Karanka’s men but Alvaro Negredo has been instrumental in turning their fortunes around.
The Spanish striker has been a significant player for Boro with his goals arriving at the perfect time; Saturday was no different.
Negredo scored a stunning goal from a tight angle to give the hosts the lead - sending the keeper the wrong way with his beautiful strike. He scored his second from the spot after Jordi Amat’s foul on Forshaw earned Karanka’s side a penalty.
The Spaniard was a constant threat down the middle, won his aerial battles and pitched in to help out the defence as well. All in all, a man-of-the-match performance!
Honourable mentions: Andrew Robertson (vs. West Ham), Paul Pogba (vs. West Brom), Jay Rodriguez (vs. AFC Bournemouth), Jordan Pickford (vs. Watford)
