Middlesbrough are in the top two of the EFL Championship this season and having a fit and healthy Aidan Morris should help the club in their quest.
Morris played 90 minutes in Middlesbrough’s 4-0 home win over Southampton on Sunday. The American midfielder only recently returned to action for the English second division club, but seems to be back to his old self.
He won five matches, completed 93% of his passes (70/75) and made four defensive recoveries at the Riverside Stadium. Morris helped Kim Hellberg’s side back to second place in the table, six points behind first-place Coventry City.
After a busy schedule over the holiday period, Middlesbrough now have a short break before traveling to Fulham for the FA Cup on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Brenden Aaronson scored in Leeds United’s home game against Manchester United. Weston McKennie scored his second goal of the season for Juventus. Christian Pulisic played from the bench in AC Milan’s win over Cagliari. Tanner Tessmann and defeated Lyon Folarin Balogun and Monaco play in Ligue 1. Jordan Pefok scored in Tondela’s league win over Arouca.
