Middlesbrough vs Fulham

1. 93'

   So, Boro climb the table after a good home win. Stay with Soccernet for all the post-match reaction and opinion.

2. 93'

   Coleman and McClaren shake hands at the final whistle, but the Fulham boss looks very frustrated.

3. 93'

   FULL-TIME: Good comeback from the home side to deny Fulham their first away win of the season. An entertaining second half made up for a shoddy first.

4. 92'

   Boro try to eat up the remaining seconds by taking the ball in to the corner.

5. 91'

   Rochemback and Bouba Diop clash off the ball. Replays show that the Fulham player chopped down on the back of Rochemback's neck, James-Bond-villian-style.

6. 90'

   A moment of amusement as Referee Rennie slips on the greasy surface and ends up on his backside.

7. 89'

   ...But he drives his low shot straight in to the wall. Poor effort from the 'Brazilian'.

8. 89'

   ...With Hasselbaink off the pitch, Rochemback resumes free-kick duties...

9. 88'

   Free-kick to Middlesbrough on the edge of the area, as Yakubu is brought down by the long legs of Bouba Diop. Dangerous spot...

10. 87'

    Doriva gives the ball away in midfield, allowing Fulham to break.

11. 86'

    Chris Coleman chews furiously on the Fulham bench. He looks angry. I wouldn't fancy doing the post-match interview with him.

12. 85'

    SUB: Hasselbaink off, Doriva on. Jimmy has had a mixed afternoon, but he might have won the points for Boro with his late goal.

13. 84'

    Queudrue bravely blocks Bouba Diop's shot from the edge of the penalty area.

14. 83'

    GOAL! Hasselbaink puts Boro in front for the first time this match as he collects Morrison's cross, cuts on to his right foot and places his shot past Warner.

15. 81'

    Nemeth sprints on to Rochemback's through-ball, but Warner sees the danger and comes out of his area to hoof clear.

16. 80'

    Jensen plays in a dangerous cross towards McBride, but Riggott is in bravely to head clear.

17. 79'

    Fulham have only really threatened on the counter-attack, but Boro have managed to create quite a bit of pressure on the visitors' goal, especially in the second half.

18. 78'

    To be fair, Boro probably deserve to win this game; they have dominated possession.

19. 77'

    Boro have been boosted by the equaliser; they are playing at a great tempo now, and pressing forward for a winner.

20. 76'

    The Fulham players were outraged that the linesman didn't flag for off-side. They were right to be angry; Yakubu was off-side when the ball bounced off him.

21. 75'

    GOAL! Rochemback slides a clever ball in to Southgate, who had continued a run in to the area. The centre-back slides a cross to the far post, where Hasselbaink is left with the simple task of prodding the ball over the line from a yard out. Inredibly, he shanks the ball hopelessly, although thankfully he mis-cues so badly that the ball bounces off Yakubu, sat on the ground, and rolls slowly over the line.

22. 74'

    Hasselbaink has endured a sorry afternoon; nothing he has tried has come off.

23. 73'

    INCREDIBLE MISS! Hasselbaink manages to prod the ball wide from three yards out. I'm not sure how, but he did.

24. 72'

    Middlesbrough have showed a lot of spirit in this second half, and they will be distraught to find themselves behind again.

25. 71'

    Hasselbaink shoots wide from 12 yarsd out, although his embarrassment was saved by an off-side flag.
