Middlesbrough defeated Wolves 1-0 in the Championship, moving to second place on their 150th birthday.
Middlesbrough defeated promotion rivals Wolves 1-0 in the Championship on the day they celebrated their 150th anniversary since being founded in 1876. Will Lankshear scored the decisive goal in the second half to secure a statement win that moved Boro to second place.
The Riverside Stadium was sold out for the designated 150 Fixture, with pre-match celebrations adding to the atmosphere. Middlesbrough dominated possession early on, pressing Wolves into errors and creating chances, though they could not find a breakthrough before half-time. Tommy Conway went close when fouled in the penalty area by Nasser Djiga after intercepting possession, but the referee awarded only a yellow card rather than a penalty.
Boro maintained their momentum after the interval, with Lankshear's goal deserved based on the team's control of the game. Manager Kim Hellberg's side showed improved consistency between halves, switching to a flat back four and managing the game well to secure the victory without letting their performance drop.
