    Fin Munroe smashes a shot well wide from just inside the area for Boro.

    That looked certain to be a Middlesbrough equaliser from the moment Aidan Morris shot towards the far corner, but it is a fabulous stop from Lawrence Vigouroux.

    The goalkeeper has had a very fine season, and that was as good as any save he has produced.

    The away side finally coming to life now.

    Callum Brittain's cross-shot is well fielded by Lawrence Vigouroux.

    Again, with how things stand in the table Middlesbrough really need a win here.

    And as I say that Aidan Morris draws a superb diving save from Swans keeper Lawrence Vigouroux!

    Mick [18:42], we do NOT want VAR in the Championship - not now, not ever. One of the joys of watching EFL is that we don't have to worry about the forensic analysis of every big decision.

    Boro are missing influential skipper Hayden Hackney and forward Morgan Whittaker through injury.

    There's not a huge amount on their bench to change this game in an attacking sense.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 62 mins

    Alan Browne booked for the away side for catching Ronald.

    Almost 15 minutes into the second half and neither side has had a shot since the break.

    This has all just gone a bit flat.

    The onus is very much on the away side to lift it.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 56 mins

    Swansea 2-1 Middlesbrough

    A triple change for the home side.

    Adam Idah, Marko Stamenic and Ronald are all on.

    Top scorer Zan Vipotnik, who was on a hat-trick, is one of the three off.

    Swansea's attempts at a breakaway are thwarted... by referee Matt Donnohue.

    To be fair he couldn't really get out of the way.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 51 mins

    Swansea 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Goncalo Franco is booked for the home side for a poor tackle on Aiden Morris.

  16. Postpublished at 49 mins

    Swansea 2-1 Middlesbrough

    Boro, predictably, have started the half on the front foot.

    If this stays as it is it will be a third defeat in five league games.

    They'd lost one in 11 before that.

    That is the worst decision for a pen. The boy needs a Oscar for that dive. VAR needed in the Championship

    Ipswich Town fan here. Chuffed.

    The debate rages on regarding Sol Brynn's foul on Ji-sung Eom which gave Zan Vipotnik the chance to score a second right on half-time...

    Off we go again.

    Boro surely need to turn this around to get their top two hopes back on track.

    FT: Ipswich 2-1 Birmingham

    Birmingham City

    Birmingham manager Chris Davies speaking to BBC Radio WM following his side's 2-1 defeat by Ipswich:

    “I thought the least we deserved was a point from today’s game. We scored a legitimate goal and I've never been as frustrated with a refereeing decision in my entire career in football, because of how hard we worked at a place like this to get into that position.

    “For a linesman 60 yards away to guess, when actually we now see the ball isn't out of play, is very frustrating because the least we deserved was a point from this game.

    “You can see from the reaction of the players that it was in play and it’s one person guessing in this whole stadium. I asked the linesman straight after the game ‘why did you do that?’ and he said ‘I can assure you the ball was out of play, I wouldn't have given it otherwise’.

    "But it wasn’t, we’ve seen that and that is as hard to take as anything because of what we gave in the game and what we deserved.”

    Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna speaks after Town's 2-1 win over Birmingham City

    Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk after his side's 2-1 win against Birmingham:

    “I think first half, we deserved to be ahead for sure. I thought we were outstanding and we were good value to get a couple of goals.

    “The half-time whistle came at the wrong time because we looked like we were going to score on every attack.

    “The second half was really difficult and you have to give Birmingham credit for that. They’re in a position where they had a swing at it. They’ve got some good players on the bench and brought on good forwards to throw everything at us.

    “We didn't impose ourselves from an attacking point of view as well as what we would have liked in the second half and we couldn’t quite get a foothold on it. So then we had to try and be resilient and manage the game well, and we mostly did that.”

    On Birmingham’s controversial disallowed goal: “I don't know whether the ball was in or out. I’ve not seen it back. In the Championship, you’re flipping a coin on those because you don't know, the referees don't have the angles, the linesmen don't have the angles. But I’m not going to give that one a second thought.”
