Middlesbrough 0-1 Hull City: Keane Lewis-Potter's goal dents Boro's play-off hopes

Middlesbrough missed the chance to move into the Championship play-offs as they went down 1-0 at home to Hull City.

Boro controlled the first half but failed to create any decent chances as Hull's George Honeyman had an effort cleared off the line.

Aaron Connolly had a goal ruled out for offside for Boro midway through the second half.

Keane Lewis-Potter proved to be the match-winner as he beat Marcus Tavernier, cut in from the left and fired an excellent right-footed shot into the bottom corner.

The loss sees Boro drop to eighth in the Championship after Blackburn's draw with Blackpool saw Rovers move above them, while Hull remain 20th, 15 points above the relegation places after ending a two-game losing streak.
