Assombalonga scores his first goal of the season in Middlesbrough’s draw with Luton Town

Britt Assombalonga scored his first goal of the season in Middlesbrough’s 3-3 draw with Luton Town in the opening match of the EFL Championship on Friday.

The Smoggies got off to a flying start at Kenilworth Road with Ashley Fletcher opening the scoring for the visitors in the seventh minute.

Sonny Bradley levelled for Luton 10 minutes later before Martin Cranie gave the Hatters the lead in the 24th minute.

Assombalonga then equalised for Jonathan Woodgate’s men in the 38th minute, firing a shot that slipped through goalkeeper Simon Sluga’s hands and into the back of the net.
