Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka is unhappy with his players' intensity during Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round defeat to holders Arsenal.

Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka has criticised his players' intensity during the FA Cup fifth-round defeat to holders Arsenal.

After knocking out Premier League champions Manchester City in the last round, Boro were second best for much of today's game as they lost 2-0 at the Emirates.

Speaking to BT Sport after the match, Karanka said: "Against Manchester City we won all the 50-50 balls, we were more concentrated and organised.

"Today the first half especially was bad. We had to play more aggressively, especially in the first half but we keep going now."

Boro are second in the Championship, but can reclaim top spot from Bournemouth when they travel to Birmingham City on Wednesday evening.
