This Middlesbrough player is the owner of a new (unwanted) Premier League record

Rudy Gestede made his bow for new club Middlesbrough at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon. Well done him.

Unfortunately for Rudy, it wasn't all that much to write home about. There were no goals scored in the game with Watford, and his appearance was enough for him to chalk up an unwanted piece of Premier League history. As pointed out by OptaJoe, his appearance from the bench (he came on for Cristhian Stuani midway through the second half) was the 32nd consecutive Premier League match he had taken part in without being on the winning side. The part Gestede played in Aston Villa's miserable relegation season in 2015/16 was largely responsible for this, with his only taste of victory in the top flight coming in an opening day win at Bournemouth 17 months ago. https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/820333411206213632?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Chin up, Rudy. Supporters of your new club would have hoped your winless run ended at Vicarage Road.
