The warm spring sunshine dictated that Middlesbrough treated fans to a pre-match funfair in the club carpark. “It was a game we should have won, we could have won and, of course it’s a missed opportunity,” said Aitor Karanka’s interim successor. Sensing a lifeline slipping away, Agnew introduced Álvaro Negredo. Contentiously – extremely so – Keane received merely a yellow rather than a red card before Downing’s free-kick was deflected away by Matthew Lowton. The ensuing corner led to Dani Ayala’s header being clear off the line, with Lowton once again Burnley’s saviour.
