Middlesbrough assistant manager Kevin Blackwell said:
"It was two sides who both worked very hard.
"While they had their spells, I think we had more spells of danger than they did.
"I thought it was a matter of course that the referee was going to blow for a penalty [for the incident involving Hall]. When he looks back on it, I think he will regret he hasn't given the right decision.
"We have only had Chuba here three or four days and he acquitted himself very well."
