Sierra Leone international Mustapha Bundu found the net for Plymouth Argyle as they drew with Middlesbrough in their final Home Park fixture of the 2024 calendar year.
Ahead of the clash, Michael Carrick’s side were in a play-off place in the Sky Bet Championship, while the home side of Wayne Rooney were desperate for three points to get themselves out of the relegation zone.
Plymouth took the lead three times at Home Park, but Middlesbrough equalized each time, with Emmanuel Latte Lath’s strike ensuring the points were shared in the match between former teammates Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick.
The scoring was opened by Lewis Gibson in the 38th minute, who was assisted by Ryan Hardie for the home team. However, J. Howson equalized in the 50th minute.
The home side took the lead for the second time when Darko Gyabi scored with an assist from Mustapha Bundu.
Boro responded with a spirited comeback as Hayden Hackney made it 2-2 before Bundu finally found the back of the net with his fourth of the season in the 81st minute, only for substitute Emmanuel Latte Lath to equalize just five minutes from time.
Bundu was named Man of the Match after contributing a goal and an assist in a thrilling 3-3 draw during Round 22 of the English Championship. This result continues Plymouth’s struggle, keeping them at the bottom of the table.
