Paddy is on the spot

NOTTM FOREST 1 MIDDLESBRO­UGH 1

- by JAMES NURSEY

PADDY McNAIR inspired struggling Middlesbro­ugh to a late fightback to snatch a point at Nottingham Forest.

Sabri Lamouchi’s men dominated for large periods and broke the deadlock when midfielder Ryan Yates headed home after the hour.

It looked like being enough against a side without an away win this term.

Jonathan Woodgate’s men failed to create many chances but were awarded an 81st-minute penalty when sub Marvin Johnson was brought down by Jack Robinson following McNair’s defence-splitting pass.

The former Manchester United youngster kept his cool and slotted home to earn Boro a point.
