Middlesbrough, Leeds United finish goalless

Middlesbrough and Leeds United play out goalless draw at the Riverside Stadium this afternoon.

Middlesbrough and Leeds United have played out a goalless draw at the Riverside Stadium in the Championship this afternoon.

The visitors were unfortunate not to be given a penalty when Noel Hunt was halted by Kenneth Omeruo from a corner kick.

Luke Murphy had a good chance for Leeds when he fired wide of Shay Given's left-hand post from around 20 yards.

Leeds deubtant Jack Butland made a good save to deny Jacob Butterfield's dipping effort towards the end of the half.

The restart provided a lot more goalmouth activity than the first, as Jimmy Kebe wasted Lee Peltier's cross minutes after Stephen Warnock nearly put through his own net.

Danny Graham had a couple of efforts for the home side and went closest with the first one on 53 minutes when his overhead kick was fired straight at Butland.

Butland then made his best save of the afternoon when he denied Albert Adomah after the winger had linked up well with Emmanuel Ledesma.

Moments later Given made an outstanding save down the other end after Ross McCormack had fired a volley at the Boro goal.
