Leicester City produced a stubborn defensive display to frustrate Middlesbrough in the two teams' opening match of 2017 at the Riverside Stadium.
Chances were at a premium in the opening period, Andy King's free-kick being saved by Boro goalkeeper Brad Guzan and Marten de Roon having a shot deflected over.
