Boro vs Blackpool - Live match updates from the Riverside (Teesside Live)

Live match updates as Middlesbrough take on Blackpool at the Riverside in the Championship.

Boro lead at the break. Giles swings a FK in from near enough the corner flag on the right. Only the one goal, but a solid half from Boro dominant side with plenty of attacking intent. Comes out to him and sits up well from the right edge of the box. Lenihan flicks a Giles corner on and McNair is in at the back post to apply a close-range finish. But the ref has let a few 50-50s go, so never likely to give that one. Back on the bench at Sunderland and against Watford, but didn't make it on for either. Having had one ruled out for offside just after the restart, Yates has now just hit the bar. Another attack up the right, another good delivery from CJ Hamilton, this time with a low cross that Bowler swipes over the bar. Join us for live updates throughout the day below. First time on the pitch for Boro since being dropped for the Millwall game. This is his first league game in charge having led them in a narrow defeat to Premier League Southampton last weekend.

Chuba Akpom scores twice as Middlesbrough beat Blackpool (The Irish News)

Chuba Akpom's brilliant double helped seal a 3-0 win for Middlesbrough that handed Mick McCarthy a losing start to life back in the Sky Bet Championship as ...

He hammered in from close range after McGree's clever pass came at the end of a lovely move down the right. McNair, who needed treatment to a cut below his eye in the first half, made sure of the points when he side-footed in at the back post from Lenihan's flick-on at a corner. There was clearly a vibrancy in their play from the first whistle and that led to a number of early chances they could not convert.

We knew it wasn't going to be easy, the situation they are in, with a new manager, a good manager, we knew they'd be stubborn and hard to beat, good on the break. It is powerful there for the players to feel that energy in the stadium. It might not always go to plan, but we know the support is there for us. I liked the second goal, the team goal, from goalkeeper Zack Steffen all the way through the pitch and then to finish it off with a great combination of Chuba and Riley (McGree). It is important (to win five in a row at home), when you have the support we have behind us.
