It's the lowest point of my life - captain Gibson crushed after Middlesbrough's relegation

The Boro manager felt a lack of goals was key to their relegation, while the captain was devastated by the return to the Championship

Middlesbrough captain Ben Gibson described the experience of being relegated from the Premier League as the lowest moment of his life, while Steve Agnew accepted his side's demotion to the Championship is down to their lack of goals.

Boro lost 3-0 at Chelsea on Monday, with Diego Costa, Marcos Alonso and Nemanja Matic scoring in a comprehensive win for the champions-elect, to relegate Agnew's team with two matches of the season still to play.
