On Friday night, Bolton Wanderers were introduced to a side that is serious about it's Premier League ambitions.
Middlesbrough have been one of the favourites for promotion day one this season, something they made as clear as possible at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
Out of the blocks as quick as ever, it did not take long for Kim Hellberg's side to take the lead, Aiden Morris finishing a lovely move. Will Lankshear made it two moments later as the away side continued to show their quality.
Bolton would then make their biggest mistake of the game, highlighting some set-piece frailty as a corner ricochet off Lewis Brunt to make it three. Wanderers gave themselves a lifeline before the break as Theo Bair pulled one back, the goal though would only end up being a consolation.

A lifelong Bolton Wanderers fan, this club is the reason I began my journalism career. Since sitting in the stands as a kid over 20 years ago, I have gone on to work for the likes of the BBC and The Telegraph before everything led me back to here, to the football club I love.
