Max O'Leary - 8
Outstanding. Kept a clean sheet and arguably should be higher in the pecking order than third-choice keeper. Great save to keep out Howson at one point.
Jack Hunt - 7
Enraged the home fans by asking for a towel. Unable to get forward often but turned Friend inside out when he did.
Bailey Wright - 8
Fantastic shift at the back from the skipper with several last-ditch clearances. Although how much did he know about Jonny Howson's first half effort that hit him and then the post?
Tomas Kalas - 7
The former Middlesbrough defender made several goal-line clearances and was a key reason for the shut-out.
Adam Webster - 9
The heir to Flint: Webdini was in town and he showed the Robins what the future holds. Match-winning goal and plenty of swagger at the back.
Brilliant Bristol City away win sees Tony Pulis under huge Middlesbrough pressure
Jay Dasilva - 8
Brilliant performance that was capped seeing him trying to dribble through the long legs of Flinty.
Jamie Paterson - 6
The recalled midfielder kept the ball well and squandered few passes at the back. Missed an excellent chance to make it 2-0.
Marlon Pack - 8
Embroiled in 'towel-gate' but outstanding battling in the centre of the field.
Josh Brownhill - 7
Energetic display and plenty of shots if just lacking that spark of quality.
Andi Weimann - 7
Saturday's hat-trick hero had to go off at the break with a knock but looked a threat early on.
Famara Diedhiou - 8
The powerhouse forward held the ball up so well. That part of his game has really developed. Little service in front of goal.
Substitutes
Korey Smith - 7
Snapped into challenges for 35 minutes before retiring hurt.
Lloyd Kelly
Helped keep out Downing late on. n/a
Nathan Baker
Plenty of aerial oomph to play a important role. n/a
