Daryl Murphy on target for Nottingham Forest as they beat Middlesbrough

Daryl Murphy netted his third goal of the season to help Nottingham Forest claim a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough, as the man he had replaced fluffed his lines on his return to the City Ground.
The Reds had taken the lead with a fine team goal finished by Barrie McKay in the 16th minute, before Murphy netted from the spot in the 80th.
Ben Gibson gave Boro hope in the 83rd minute, but Garry Monk's side would have returned north with more than that, had Britt Assombalonga not failed to convert three glorious chances against his former club, whom he left in a B£15m move this summer.
