Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis said:
"I thought in the first half we were good, we played some good football at times and got into some really good positions.
"In the second half, for whatever reason, we sat back a bit more and the game became scrappy which didn't suit us.
"It was a tough game today because it was [Garry] Monk's first game, it's a bounce game. When a new manager comes in you usually get a bounce effect.
"It gives all their players a lift, it's a new manager, the players step up to it, the crowd are behind them so it's difficult circumstances but the lads coped really well."
