Ben Gibson delighted by Middlesbrough start to season

Middlesbrough captain Ben Gibson has said that he is content with his side's point from their Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion this afternoon.

The two sides played out a dull stalemate at The Hawthorns as Boro maintained their unbeaten start to life back in the top flight.

Aitor Karanka's side now sit on five points from their three games and are one of only six teams to remain unbeaten, and Gibson believes that makes for a successful start to their campaign.

"It's important now that we've had three games unbeaten that we keep the momentum going. West Brom is not an easy place to come and we'll take that point," he told Sky Sports News.

"I think we'd have snapped your hand off for the start we have had. There's an adaptation period in the Premier League compared to the Championship and we've done it well so far. We got into a winning mentality and have to carry that on."

Boro will look to continue their unbeaten start to the season when they host Crystal Palace after the international break.
