De Roon: I don´t know what I was thinking!

Share Marten de Roon conceded that his first Premier League goal owed much to instinct over planning after snatching Middlesbrough a 1-1 draw from Manchester City.

Boro were on the back foot throughout at the Etihad Stadium as Pep Guardiola’s side backed up their counter-attacking masterclass against Barcelona with a more typical display of dominant possession.

However, Guardiola’s former Barca number one Victor Valdes turned in a herculean display in the Boro goal before De Roon stormed onto George Friend’s cross to thump a header past Claudio Bravo in stoppage time. View image on Twitter

“We had some small chances and then at the end – I don’t know what I was thinking – I just ran into the box. It was incredible. “We fought hard and it is an amazing point.”
