Middlesbrough and Aston Villa's Rudy Gestede gets unwanted record

Middlesbrough striker Rudy Gestede made his debut for his new club at Watford on Saturday, but he also become the owner of an unwanted Premier League record.

Gestede, 28, completed a £6 million switch back to the top flight from Championship side Aston Villa last week and was handed his Boro bow as a 65th-minute substitute at Vicarage Road.

The game finished 0-0, meaning Gestede has now played in 32 consecutive Premier League games without tasting victory -- more than any other player in the history of the competition.
