Middlesbrough 1-2 Wolves: Leaders earn crucial win at Boro despite having two players sent off

Nine-man Wolves took a giant step towards claiming the Championship title as they survived the dismissal of two players to claim a 2-1 win at Middlesbrough.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side need just three more wins to guarantee promotion after first-half goals from Helder Costa and Ivan Cavaleiro secured them a dramatic victory at the Riverside.

The visitors were reduced to nine men with 19 minutes left as Matt Doherty was sent off for two bookable offences, a quarter-of-an-hour after Ruben Neves was also dismissed for picking up two bookings in the space of three minutes.
