Second Half ends, Middlesbrough 2, Cardiff City 2.
Championship top scorer Will Lankshear came off the bench to rescue Middlesbrough from a first home defeat of the season and deny Cardiff City in a pulsating 2-2 draw.
Lankshear – who now has 11 for the season in all competitions – had been on the bench as Cardiff raced to a two-goal lead inside the first-half at the Riverside.
Fine individual efforts from Jack Moylan and Ollie Tanner threatened to earn the Bluebirds a first away win of the campaign.
But after Tommy Conway had pulled one back on 58 minutes substitute Lankshear completed the comeback when he finished from the edge of the area to level three minutes later.
They could not find a winner, despite registering a total of 36 shots on target against a Cardiff side reduced to 10 men for the final seven minutes after a wild challenge from Gabriel Osho on Lankshear.
It was not enough to move promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough up the table, but it did preserve an unbeaten run that now stretches to nine matches.
And it was a tough lesson for Cardiff who again caught the eye with some of their football and had worked so hard to keep Boro at bay before pressure told.
Given it ended a run of four straight defeats on the road, the travelling Cardiff fans would have welcomed the point.
But there were long periods where it seemed as if Cardiff had done enough for more as scramble defence, good goalkeeping and positive football had threaten to cause an upset.
The presence of Moylan also helped, the Republic of Ireland international once again deployed as a makeshift striker and making the most of it.
His goal on 22 minutes was an example of his confidence, Cardiff turning over possession and Moylan gliding past the attention of Aidan Morris before finishing smartly.
It was the former Lincoln City man's sixth league goal of the season, with his performance again suggesting he will be key in the Bluebirds' bid to re-establish themselves in the Championship.
He had a seemingly good claim for a penalty soon after too, Ash Phillips looking to have sent him tumbling as Cardiff waited for the right openings against a Boro side lacking their leading man, Lankshear starting on the bench for the first time this season.
And with Amario Cozier-Duberry among those either guilty of wasting chances or being denied by the goalkeeping of Nathan Trott, Cardiff then grabbed their second with their second shot on target.
This time it was Tanner who struck, offered space and invited to cut inside and curl from the edge of the area in first-half injury time.
Middlesbrough, though, found the energy they needed, with Lankshear immediately injecting some concern into the Cardiff defence.
The hosts finally made pressure count when Cozier-Duberry and Callum Brittain combining to tee up Conway for a first of the season.
And then Lankshear's inevitable contribution came, turning on the edge of the box and placing past Trott with his left foot to earn the point.
Osho deservedly walked for a reckless lunge on Lankshear, but Cardiff dug deep to earn a first point on the road since August.
