Hayden Coulson scored his first-ever goal for Middlesbrough four minutes after coming on as a substitute

Middlesbrough's winless run in the Championship was extended to four games as they drew 1-1 with Blackburn.

Rovers took a second-half lead against the run of play in when the unmarked Lewis Travis exchanged passes with Adam Armstrong on the edge of the box before side-footing into the corner.

But the hosts levelled 18 minutes later when substitute Hayden Coulson tapped in at the far post After Lewis Wing's shot was parried by Christian Walton.

Boro should have won it late on in the final 10 minutes - Britt Assombalonga missed the target with two good chances before Walton produced a fantastic save to keep out a Rudy Gestede header from a free kick.

The result sees Boro drop a place to 18th in the Championship, seven points above the relegation places, while Blackburn are 10th, six points off the play-offs after a fourth game without defeat.

An exciting opening to the game saw both sides have good chances inside the first 10 minutes - Sam Gallagher had an effort scrambled clear by the Boro defence before the hosts broke and saw Marvin Johnson and George Saville draw saves from Walton.

But a scrappy half thereafter was only brightened when Paddy McNair clipped the bar with a long-range effort for Middlesbrough in the 40th minute.

Boro had good chances in the 10 minutes after the restart as Marcus Tavernier forced a good save from Walton while Jonny Howson and Lukas Nmecha both shot wide.

But despite the late drama Boro could not get a winner as they failed to score more than once for the fifth time in six games.

Middlesbrough manager Jonathan Woodgate told BBC Tees:

"I thought we started well first 15 minutes, created a few chances.

"Then we started making a sloppy passes which was really annoying and we huffed and puffed a bit then.

"Second half we came out miles more lively and they got the goal at (against) the run of play, sloppy goal from us.

"I thought in the end we should have won the game."

Blackburn Rovers head coach Tony Mowbray told BBC Radio Lancashire:

"There were spells in the game where we were good. We created some chances in the first half and scored a great goal.

"I think they [Middlesbrough] grew into the game and their substitutions made a difference. I didn't feel their threat, to be honest. I thought it was a game we could win 1-0.

"But I thought Boro' were good with the ball, Jonathan [Woodgate] deserves huge credit. We probably allowed too many balls in the box in the last 15-20 minutes.

"But we'll take the point, it's okay for us, but tinged with disappointment."
