WEST HAM 3 MIDDLESBROUGH 0 - SOUTHGATE: A HARSH LESSON FOR US
Shell-shocked Boro boss Gareth Southgate, who lost Jeremie Aliadiere to a hamstring injury, admitted his side paid the price for a lethargic start to the second half.
"We sat down at half-time thinking we had done well, we'd weathered a bit of a storm and I couldn't see anything between the sides," he said.
"But they have effectively won the game in the first five minutes of the second half.
"It's a harsh lesson for us, we didn't get out of the blocks in the second half, but we'll learn from it.
"I'm not going to bring any criticism out of the dressing room. We got plenty of pats on the back after our last game, but this time, five or 10 minutes has cost us."
