Nigeria international Kenneth Omeruo survived an injury scare when he featured for Middlesbrough against Ipswich Town in an English Championship game on Saturday.
Omeruo, who just returned from international engagement for Nigeria in a friendly match against Mexico in USA, was badly tackled by Taylor in the 13th minutes and the game was held up for few minutes while he received treatment.
He went ahead and posted another man of the match performance in the heart of Middlesbrough defence.
In the 28th minute, he blocked a goal bound shot from Murphy and then he was on hand to turn Taylor's attempt at goal in the 54th minute for corner kick.
He was on for the entire duration of the game.
Last year, the young central defender suffered a shoulder injury during the FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil which kept him out several months as he was operated on.
