WEST HAM 0 - 0 HULL

It's a nervous start from The Hammers, with Antonio miskicking the ball and giving away possession.

STOKE 0 - 0 LEICESTER

It's all Stoke so far, with Bojan beating two defenders and sending the ball through to Allen who cuts it back to Walters but Schmeichel manages to just save the strike with his trailing boot.

MIDDLESBROUGH 0 - 0 SWANSEA

Viktor Fischer has gone to ground and it does not look like good news for the home side. However, Karanka's men have started well and are maintaining possession well.

SUNDERLAND 0 - 0 WATFORD

Deeney has wasted an opportunity after beating the offside trap - all he had to do was pull it back into the box but his pass was sloppy and Sunderland regain possession.

MIDDLESBROUGH 1 - 0 SWANSEA 

GOAL

The deadlock has been broken at the Riverside. The ball goes into the box and Negredo manages to bury it into the back of the net with a left footed strike. It's a tremendous strike that shows impeccable striking ability from the 31-year-old.

WEST HAM 0 - 0 HULL

Randolph dives to his left to deny Maguire's headed attempt from the corner. It's an exceptional save from the 29-year-old keeper.

MIDDLESBROUGH 2 - 0 SWANSEA

GOAL

Foreshaw comes inside and gets taken down inside of the box - there's no question about it, that's a penalty. 

Negredo steps up to the spot to double his tally. It's a composed strike that sends the keeper the wrong way. Swansea have got a mountain to climb.
