Middlesbrough earned a gritty 1-1 draw at home to Middlesbrough although boss Gareth Southgate felt his outfit should have had a penalty. "It looks to me as if (Gael) Clichy's caught (Adam)Johnson and I thought the one that was given against us last week was a lesser foul than that," said Southgate.

"I'm told these things even themselves out so we shall see."

The performance of his defence in particular pleased Southgate, given that both Robert Huth and Chris Riggott had to shrug off midweek injuries and Emanuel Pogatetz needed pain-killing injections in his shoulder.

Southgate added: "It's been an incredible week for dealing with setbacks and different things, but the performance of the back four in particular, and in the circumstances, was phenomenal.

"We showed enough courage in the first half to get back into it and in the second half we had to dig in.

"I think a draw given all the circumstances is possibly fair, but we had to be very resilient to get it."
