Middlesbrough defender George Friend's partner questions Aitor Karanka's tactics

Middlesbrough defender George Friend has found a sparky WAG in Beverley Fothers judging by her attack on Boro manager Aitor Karanka during Sunday’s home defeat by Watford.

The Teesside club lost 1-0 to the Hornets following a stunning effort from Jose Holebas, which left Karanka's side 17th in the table with just one win from eight games.

The Spaniard waited until the closing stages to bring on striker Jordan Rhodes to partner Alvaro Negredo in search of an equaliser, which prompted the partner of left-back Friend to question the manager's tactics.
