With the American trip done, Jen and I had a few days in the UK before heading off again. Fortunately, it coincided with a Boro game and so I was able to get along in person rather than watching or listening on my phone. Alistair wasn’t busy, so he came along with Harry and I.
The Boro had picked up a bit whilst I was in the States meaning that the game against leaders Leicester featured the two form teams in the division. Harry thought that we’d take a point and I’d have been satisfied with that. Leicester looked good early on, but we grew into the game and finished the first half with a flurry of chances.
They put us under pressure after the break and hit the post, but it was the Boro that took the points with a Sam Greenwood free-kick a few minutes from time. As it hit the top-corner of the net from twenty-five yards we celebrated in disbelief. Especially Alistair, who I think might be close to switching his allegiance from Man City.
