Tony Mowbray 'frustrated' with Derby County equaliser

Mowbray 'frustrated' with Derby goal

Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray has claimed that Derby County's equaliser should never have stood following Wednesday's 2-2 draw at the Riverside Stadium.

Paul Coutts grabbed a late goal to earn the Rams a point on Teeside, but Mowbray believes that an opposing player was offside during the build-up.

"When you get yourself in front late on the expectation is that you'll take all three points," he told Sky Sports News.

"The frustration is that the goal was offside but we sit here at 2-2 and can't change it now because the officials got it wrong.

"It's frustrating when they do but you'd have to say on the balance of play that Derby deserved to take something from the game. Derby showed they're a decent team, they've got some nice tidy footballers."

The point has moved Boro up to 11th in the Championship table.
