Hull City 2-0 Middlesbrough: Two late goals earn Hull long-awaited win

Two late goals saw Hull City beat Middlesbrough at home and end a wait for a win that stretched back to the opening day of the Championship.

In a match short on chances and high quality, neither side could break the deadlock until the 81st minute, when Boro keeper Joe Lumley deflected the ball into his own net from a Keane-Lewis Potter volley.

Mallik Wilks then secured all three points for the Tigers in injury time.

Marcus Tavernier had a golden opportunity to clinch a goal for the visitors in the second half but sent his shot wide, while Paddy McNair was also denied by Hull keeper Matt Ingram.
