Two goals in as many minutes have sent Middlesbrough in level with Derby County after 45 minutes at the Riverside.
Theo Robinson opened the scoring for Derby from the penalty spot after Andre Bikey brought down Craig Bryson in the area.
Tony Mowbray's side responded almost instantly thanks to a mistake from County keeper Frank Fielding. He spilled a free kick from Grant Leadbitter straight into the path of Lukas Jutkiewicz, who made no mistake from close range.
Boro had a clear-cut chance to take the lead through Luke Williams in the closing stages, but he failed to find the target unmarked in the area.
