It was another star performance for Middlesborough's 21-year-old Brighton loanee Amario Cozier-Duberry against Birmingham.

You won't see his name on the scoresheet this time, after scoring in both of the previous two games, but he was a creative engine on the right, contributing yet again.

An "assist" doesn't credit him enough for the long, stylish run he put in for the first goal.

He showed great skill and determination skipping past multiple defenders to create an opportunity in the middle of the box for Max Arfsten.

Middlesborough might have missed the chance to go top of the league - as they were at half-time - and there is perhaps some work to do defensively.

However, there was an awful lot of quality on show as they rescued a point.

And again Cozier-Duberry stood out, made even more impressive after playing 232 minutes in just the past week.
