Boro failed to qualify to the next round
in Carling Cup as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against
Man United. The home side took the lead in the first
half from a well placed header by C. Ronaldo. However,
Adam Johnson who replaced Shawky in the 2nd half managed
to level the score. But defensive blunders cost Boro
the game as Pogatetz was sent off after a cynical foul
while his substitute Riggot made an error that led to
the 2nd goal for United. In addition to this, the other
defender David Wheater made another fatal error that
led to the 3rd goal.
