Manchester City 1-1 Middlesbrough: De Roon's late equaliser stuns City after Aguero's 150th goal
JOE BERNSTEIN AT THE ETIHAD STADIUM: A dramatic last-minute equaliser by Middlesbrough's Marten de Roon spoiled Sergio Aguero's milestone of a 150th goal in Manchester City colours. The Dutchman's flying header from a George Friend cross occurred just moments after Aguero had departed to a standing ovation in the belief that his 42nd minute goal had been the matchwinner. Instead top-of-the-table City have now gone three Premier League games without a win for the first time since 2010 and Pep Guardiola won't be happy with their second half performance in particular.
