    Was that a penalty? Ben Gibson has a bit of Benik Afobe's shirt as the Bournemouth player goes down in the box but referee Stuart Attwell waves away the visiting side's penalty appeals.

    It should be 3-0 to Boro. Alvaro Negredo is played through on goal but his first-time shot is struck tamely and keeper Artur Boruc easily saves.

    Stewart Downing's delivery hasn't been the best this afternoon but he atones with his side's second goal. Adama Traore crosses for Alvaro Negredo, who nods the ball back across goal from the left and Downing side-foots in at the far post for his first goal of the season.

    Jordon Ibe looked dangerous in the first half for Bournemouth and, if his team-mates can get the ball to him up the pitch, that might be their best way back into the game.

    All even so far after the break.

    Now this in absolutely no way does any justice to the great goal that Gaston Ramirez has just scored, but it does show that he ran from almost the halfway line before scoring for Middlesbrough.

    This is one goal to make sure you watch on Match of the Day later.

    Gaston Ramirez has been playing quite well actually, in a Middlesbrough team that I think has been struggling.

    The celebrations that have gone on then just show how important this is for Middlesbrough.

    Gaston Ramirez

    What a goal. That is one to tune into Match of the Day for. Gaston Ramirez picks the ball up in his own half, flicks it past one player and goes on a storming run at the Bournemouth goal. He gets into the area, checks inside Andrew Surman before sending in a shot. Wow.
