"Middlesbrough extended their early lead at the top of the Championship with a 2-1 win against West Brom at Riverside Stadium. David Strelec and Kely Sene scored for Boro either side of half-time to move Rob Edward's side four points clear of Stoke City at the top of the league, while Aune Heggebo scored a late consolation for West Brom."
"Strelec marked his home debut with a goal after 26 minutes. Luke Ayling flicked the ball on from a long throw and Strelec went full stretch and placed his shot past a helpless Josh Griffiths. The visitors did not offer much threat as they searched for an equaliser, and Boro doubled their lead shortly after the hour mark. Sene, who replaced Strelec at the break, combined brilliantly with Tommy Conway and Hayden Hackney before finding the bottom-left corner from inside the box."
