How did you enjoy Middlesbrough's return to the big time with their 1-1 draw with Stoke City in front of a packed Riverside on Saturday?

Boro kicked off the Premier League campaign with a well-earned point against Mark Hughes' side, thanks to a first-half goal from summer signing Alvaro Negredo .

The excitement was already at fever pitch before kick-off, with fans looking forward to seeing Boro back in the Premier League after an absence of seven years.

And things got even better for the fans when Negredo opened Boro's Premier League season in style after just 11 minutes with a well-placed header.

"It was one of the longest but also proudest 90 minutes I've ever had as a Boro fan," said Matthew Rowney, 20 from Middlesbrough, who took the video.

"We have proved we're back where we belong!"

Unfortunately, for the fans, Stoke pegged Boro back with a stunning free-kick by Xherdan Shaqiri on around 67 minutes, earning both sides a point.
