'It’s a hard one to take' - Mikel frustrated by Middlesbrough's draw vs. Leeds United

John Obi Mikel has stated his frustration at Middlesbrough's inability to secure victory over Leeds United, despite playing 'really well the whole game'.

Two minutes after the restart, Lewis Wing gave the hosts the lead but their strife for a victory was dealt a huge blow when Kalvin Phillips headed home a 102nd-minute equaliser.

“It’s a hard one to take. We’ve played really well the whole game,” Mikel told club website.

“We did exactly what we wanted to do. We were aggressive, we won the ball, and got in their faces. We tried to play and created chances.
