Middlesbrough v Aston Villa Live!
90 Four minutes of added time here.[LNB]89 Villa are just looking to catch Boro on the break now as they attack in numbers. Huth is up-front now.[LNB]87 Great chance for Heskey as Milner jinks his way down the right, he crosses and the England striker rises but heads over from six-yards.[LNB]85 Boro are now launching the ball forward at every chance, but it is not sticking.[LNB]83 So close from Tuncay as Hoyte chips the ball into the box and the Turkish ace gets his header away but it is just over.[LNB]81 Boro corner as Wheater's long-range effort is deflected behind. Walker will take and Bates is up but he just misses it.[LNB]79 Villa again break on Boro as Agbonlahor is played through and fires at goal, but Jones tips it wide. Villa look dangerous at the moment.[LNB]77 Tuncay is brought down 30-yards out. Huth and the Turk look like the want it. Tuncay takes and it cannons off the wall back to him, he then tries again and loops his shot just over the bar.[LNB]74 Shorey comes forward and wins the corner off Bates. Taken short and it comes into the box, Agbonlahor is denied by Wheater and Jones claims it after a big scramble in the goalmouth.[LNB]73 O'Neil comes off for Boro and Josh Walker comes no as Gareth Southgate looks to change things.[LNB]71 Young is forced off and Nigel Reo-Coker comes on.[LNB]70 Young goes down under Huth's challenge looking for a penalty - but again Mr Riley says no.[LNB]66 Milner scrambles it clear and almost concedes a corner. Ball comes for Arca, he finds King in the box - he tries to turn his marker and he does but he shoots wide.[LNB]63 Wonderful save by Jones as he dives at the feet of Young to deny him. It is a let off for Wheater who missed the ball and allowed the young winger to break clear.[LNB]62 End to end stuff now as Boro win a free-kick out wide as King is fouled. Johnson takes, it comes for Emnes but his attempted cross back into the box sails behind.[LNB]60 Boro back on the attack now and win a corner as Johnson's cross is put behind. O'Neil takes but Curtis Davies rises well to head clear. And that allows Villa to counter and Barry finds Young on the edge of the box, he cuts back and fires straight at Jones.[LNB]59 Another great chance for Villa as they counter, Heskey plays it inside for Petrov but he pulls his shot wide from the edge of the box - poor effort.[LNB]58 GOAL - CAREW - King's attempted clearance in the box falls to Carew, he takes it down and curls it beyond Jones. Shocking defending.[LNB]57 Villa win a dangerous free-kick on the edge of the box as Arca cathes Barry. The England man is over the ball but Milner takes but he cannot beat the wall. But still Boro don't clear...[LNB]56 Villa win a corner as Johnson tracks back to tackle Milner. Barry curls it in and it comes for Young, he crosses back into box for Cuellar and Huth is forced to concede another. Young takes this time and Barry is there but he cannot find the target.[LNB]54 Milner follows him into the box for bringing down Johnson.[LNB]54 Yellow card for Villa captain Barry for dissent.[LNB]52 Emnes breaks clear but play is brought back for King foul on Cuellar - Villa a bit fortunate there.[LNB]49 A placid opening to the second-half here with nether side taking a grip so far.[LNB]45 Villa gets us underway here, neither side has made a change at the break.[LNB] Thanks for all your reaction, it is all Boro - like Joe-Boyes Jackson who is going for a home win![LNB]45 Mike Riley blows for half-time and Boro deservedly lead the break - can Teesside begin to believe or can Villa hit back? Send me your thoughts. graeme.bailey@bskyb.com[LNB]45 Petrov breaks well and plays in Heskey, he looks for the return ball but the England striker fires over the bar when he should have played in his team-mate.[LNB]45 Five minutes of added time here.[LNB]43 Wonderful ball from Adam Johnson sets Emnes free, he takes it down well but is forced out wide and Villa clear. Villa are not at the races at the moment.[LNB]41 Great play from Emnes - where have Boro been hiding this boy - he breaks into box after beating two challenges and feeds Hoyte, who again shoots at goal and this time Friedel has to get down and push it wide. Great move from Boro.[LNB]39 Hoyte cuts back into the box and unleashes a strong effort which Cuellar heads behind. Corner comes in and Emnes goes down but nothing is given. Villa break and win a free-kick through Young.[LNB]37 Boro corner, O'Neil is over it and Huth rises but it is blocked and Villa hoof it clear.[LNB]35 Another Villa corner as Huth slides in on John Carew. Young sweeps the corner into the box but it is deflected wide for a goal-kick.[LNB]34 Tuncay gives the ball away cheaply on the edge of the box and Ashley Young gets to the by-line and cuts it back, but Justin Hoyte clears just ahead of Heskey. Villa corner taken short but Barry's ball in is taken by Jones.[LNB]32 Good run from Johnson as breaks inside, but he is chopped down by Milner - still no booking though. O'Neil takes the set-piece but again Villa clear without much of a problem.[LNB]30 Still Boro looking dangerous, with Villa playing too many long balls.[LNB]27 Tuncay wins a free-kick on the edge of the Villa box, but out-wide. Johnson is over to take it, but Villa clear.[LNB]25 We are only just getting back underway here as Downing is stretched off. Johnson is now on the right with King-up-front. Whilst Tuncay's drops into midfield.[LNB]22 Replays showing now that Petrov stood on Downing's ankle and he is down again, he won't continue. King is coming on and Tuncay takes the armband.[LNB]21 Marlon King is stripped ready for action but Downing is back on and going to give it a go.[LNB]20 Villa clear the free-kick but Downing is on the sidelines and it doesnt look good for the England winger.[LNB]17 Downing is down receiving treatment after Stilian Petrov blocks him off. Boro free-kick 35-yards out.[LNB] More reaction coming in now. Steven John Davies a Villa fan is on course for his predicition as he says 3-1 Villa, but with Boro scoring first. The Ray sisters in Stockton have differing opinions - Charlotte says Boro win, but Becky thinks Boro are doomed![LNB]14 GOAL - Tuncay - What a finish from the Turkish striker. Downing's shot is deflected into the air and Tuncay's launches into an overhead kick and finds the corner leaving Friedel stranded. Goal of the season material![LNB]11 Great chance for Gabriel Agbonlahor as he is played through thanks to a long ball from defence but he can only fire straight at Brad Jones - should be 1-0.[LNB]10 Possession stuiff from Villa now, but Boro are closing them down all over the pitch - positive play from the home side.[LNB]7 Gary O'Neil tries one from the edge of the box, his shot is deflected just wide by Tuncay - but he is flagged for offside anyway.[LNB]5 Good work from Adam Johnson on the right, he crosses deep into the box and Downing heads it back for Julio Arca, whose header is straight at Brad Friedel.[LNB]3 James Milner - playing at right back - feeds Ashley Young and he in-turn plays in Emile Heskey, he crosses first but David Wheater clears.[LNB]1 Great opening from Boro as Marvin Emnes plays in Stewart Downing on the left, e breaks into the box and Gareth Barry is forced to put it behind - but it is only just past the post. Villa clear the corner first time.[LNB] Kick-off and Villa gets us underway kicking from right to left.[LNB] Villa fan Mark Roberts, all the way from Xi'an in China is thinking an away day massacre, Villa 3-0! Let me know your thoughts. graeme.bailey@bskyb.com[LNB] Not too much reaction, Roger West a Boro fan can only see a home win and he thinks Boro will stay up.
