I think it was McGree and it was one of them incidents where one referee will give it and another will let it go. You can see in the picture below the Leicester player trying to block his run and the Boro player pulling him back. The Leicester commentary team where looking for excuses and said the defenders would have made different positional choices if he had been able to get back.Yes onside . Watched it on the Leicester website and they were moaning one of there defenders was fouled as the boro lads made there run to the box
The ball from Engel into O'Brien's feet made the goal. O'Brien does very well with his back to Faes to get the ball out wide to Silvera and turns and makes his run whilst pointing where he wants it played. Silvera had the easy part but had to play it straightaway and with enough pace to allow O'Brien to run onto it.Good vision and through ball from silvera.
Great run. I did think the square ball was a tad close to the keeper but excellent finish in a tight space.
A very good goal all round.

*LewisWhen I first saw it I thought Liam was probably offside .
I was surprised at how slow Leicester where at the back and we got behind them on a few occasions. O'Brien and Silvera have a bit a pace about them and Leicester seemed to struggle with it defensively.Was lazy defending for me, not sure who it was but the defender in line with Azaz steeps up and goes past Azaz, trying to play off side with a high line and a defender behind him instead of going with the play. He would have had a chance to get across to O’Brien or at least make the square ball more difficult to execute.
That said we did well to make the most of the error and punish them. Far to many times this season we have let stuff like this go u punished
Agent Fox says Faes isn't a fan's favourite.I was surprised at how slow Leicester where at the back and we got behind them on a few occasions. O'Brien and Silvera have a bit a pace about them and Leicester seemed to struggle with it defensively.
Edit: Does anyone else think Faes looks like a poor mans David Luiz? The hair, walk and the way he carries himself. I took an instant dislike to him because of this.
Maresca made the same claim on the itv 4 show as wellYes onside . Watched it on the Leicester website and they were moaning one of there defenders was fouled as the boro lads made there run to the box
The big difference between e.g. Preston and yesterday was our lack of possession. We were able to play the way teams normally play against us. I think this was key as to why the missing players didn't casue as big an issue as they would have done against a lesser team.They don't like teams who run at them!
It was flipping great seeing the ball going both left and right, over their back line and seeing O'Brien, et al., running through their defence like a hot knife through butter.He made the correct call. I wouldn't have said it was 'good'.

It's nice to be the underdog.
They got away with more than their fair share of fouls yesterdayIf that’s a foul we’ll take it back a few more seconds when McNair gets pushed over late by their striker as he plays the ball out. Swings and roundabouts
