Middlesbrough 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday: Boro keep play-off hopes alive

Middlesbrough kept alive their hopes of a play-off place with a dominant display against lowly Sheffield Wednesday.

Michael Ihiekwe put through his own net to hand Boro the advantage and in a one-way second half Isaiah Jones' driven shot-cum-cross deflected past goalkeeper James Beadle to make sure of the points.

Sam Greenwood missed a penalty but it made no difference, and with Norwich losing in the early kick-off, the three points kept Michael Carrick's side in sight of the top six after a six-match unbeaten run.

Wednesday's recent good run under manager Danny Rohl has evaporated as defeat meant they have now picked up just one point from their past four games.
