Middlesbrough 3-1 Norwich: Latte Lath, Forss and Engel lift Boro clear of danger

Middlesbrough produced an impressive comeback at the Riverside Stadium to beat a 10-man Norwich side and move nine points clear of the Championship drop zone.

Michael Carrick's men went behind early on after Ashley Barnes' unconventional finish before the referee showed a controversial red card to Borja Sainz following a challenge on Boro captain Jonny Howson.

Moments later the home side made the extra player count when alert winger Marcus Forss fired past Canaries keeper Angus Gunn.

Emmanuel Latte Lath doubled the lead just before half-time with a cool finish inside the box, before Lukas Engel secured all three points with a fine volley.
