Mustapha Carayol gets 90 minutes under his belt as Boro XI thump Blackpool


Mustapha Carayol got 90 minutes under his belt as a strong Boro development team hammered Blackpool 7-1 at Rockliffe Park on Tuesday.


Under-21 coach Paul Jenkins’ also included Emmanuel Ledesma and Yanic Wildschut in his starting line-up.


Argentinian winger Ledesma marked his appearance with a hat-trick, opening the scoring in the 20th minute before the visitors hit back to equalise soon after.


Adam Jackson, a centre-back hailing from Darlington, restored Boro’s lead, firing home five minutes from half-time after being teed-up by Tom McAloon.


Carayol, who is expected to break back into the first in the next few weeks following almost a year on the sidelines due to a serious knee injury, scored his goal in the 53rd minute.


Wildschut set up Ledesma’s second 16 minutes later before sub Bradley Fewster made it 5-1 in the 83rd minute. Moment before the referee blew the final whistle, Ledesma completed his hat-trick.
