Live match updates as Middlesbrough take on Sunderland at the Riverside

Middlesbrough take on Sunderland this evening in the Tees-Wear derby, looking to continue their unbeaten home start in the league.

Results-wise, it's been a disappointing start but in the league Boro are still undefeated on home turf after starting with draws against West Brom and Sheffield United before beating Swansea City last time out here.

Sunderland, meanwhile, are now managed by Boro legend Tony Mobray, with this his second game in charge. The Black Cats have had a good start to the season with three wins and two draws from their opening seven games.

Chances at both ends

Frustration for Mowbray as Sunderland fail to make the most of an opportunity on the counter.

Moments earlier, Watmore cut in from the left and let fly, his effort well saved.

Fine Roberts save

Counter attack opportunity

Boro should do better there. They broke at speed and had men over but were indecisive, allowed Sunderland to get bodies back and eventually a cross from the left was smothered.

Almost instant impact

Watmore almost makes an instant impact.

Muniz touched it back to Mowatt, who played it into the path of Watmore. The ex-Sunderland man wasted no time in pulling the trigger but his effort was saved.

72 minutes on the clock, Boro still a goal to the good.
