Arsenal loanee Balogun wins praise from Middlesbrough boss Wilder

Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun won praise from Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder after the win over Derby County last weekend.

The 20-year-old, who joined Boro last month, grabbed an assist in the 4-1 victory.

It was Balogun's full debut for Boro and Wilder was pleased with his performance.

Wilder said: "I thought they'd gas themselves out after about 60 or 70 minutes, and Azza [Aaron Connolly] and Flo [Folarin Balogun] kept going because they got that game under their belt.

"I'm delighted with them two."
