Most people expected in-form Arsenal to waltz to an easy victory over Middlesbrough on Saturday, looking good during their midweek Champions League win againstLudogorets.
It was somewhat of a surprise, then, to see Middlesbrough hold and at some points dominate the Gunners, leaving the Emirates with a well deserved point. Arsenal still moved to the top of the Premier League with the result, while Middlesbrough moved out of the bottom three,but the draw wasn't the only notable feat achieved by Boro players on Saturday.
During the match, Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore broke the Premier League record for sprinting, clocking an impressive 37km/h, beating previous holder Moussa Sissoko who had recorded a rapid 35.5km/h.

Former Barcelona and Aston Villa winger Traore made his first Premier League start of the season for Boro on Saturday, and proved to be a thorn in Arsenal's side, tracking back well and leading counter attacks on the break thanks to his impressive pace.
Traore has looked bright during his substitute appearances so far this season, and may well deserve a few more starts should he continue performing well.
