Boro failed to get the result they wanted on Sunday - but the police got theirs off the pitch.

The force say that, yet again, the fans were on their best behaviour as Boro battled Chelsea .

No arrests were made from either set of fans, and Cleveland Police say both supporters were on top form.

“Both sets of fans were a credit to their club and very well behaved,” said a Cleveland Police spokesperson.

This is the second time this season Boro’s fans have been praised by police for their good behaviour.

Against Bournemouth, both supporters were again dubbed a credit to their clubs following the Riverside fixture.

It comes after the first few Premier League games were slightly marred by a handful of arrests.

Among the fans charged with offences was one Boro fan who police claim made “racial or religious slurs” at the Spurs game, which Boro lost 2-1.
