ELL booked in the 31st minute - handbags with Wharton, who was also booked.
CJ, on the other hand, says: Very fluid. Out of possession Ayling tucks in and Jones drops deeper. But in possession, Jones gets very high and invol...

ELL gives Boro the lead in the 64th minute, assisted by Matt Clarke. 🙂
