Match Recap

Will Lankshear's 57th-minute strike was enough to settle this Championship clash, with Middlesbrough edging out Wolves 1-0 at home. It's a tight margin that reflects the table: Boro sit third on 15 points, Wolves fourth with 14, separated by little more than this result. Wolves arrived in better recent form, having won three of their last five including two in a row, but couldn't find a way past the home defense once Lankshear's goal went in. For Middlesbrough, it's a third win from five, a result that nudges them above their visitors and keeps the pressure on a congested top of the table. Neither side features among the league's top scorers this season, with C. Larin still well clear at the summit on 15 goals, so this was a game settled by a single moment rather than individual brilliance. No frills, no fireworks, just one well-taken finish from Lankshear that separated two sides who, on paper, had little between them. Watch exactly how he found the net in the 57th minute, because Middlesbrough fans won't want to see that run end anytime soon.
