MIDDLESBROUGH v DERBY COUNTY - Boro’s penalty prize
Saturday 22 March 2008
The first green shoots of Derby County’s revival might have been seen at the Riverside as the Rams went down to a single goal defeat and had late opportunities to take some reward from the game. However, it should have been a heavier defeat as Middlesbrough had two genuine penalty appeals rejected. Already leading 1-0 in the first half, County’s Andy Todd (the son of a former Boro manager) threw Jeremie Aliadiere to the ground in the area. After the break, Middlesbrough were awarded a free-kick when Jay McEveley tripped Gary O’Neil. Further inspection revealed that the offence took place just inside the area.
The Right Result is a 3-0 win for Middlesbrough.
