CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND-UP: Middlesbrough pile more misery on Steve Bruce as his winless start as West Brom boss extends to four games... while Paul Ince kick-starts life as the new Reading boss with a win

Marcus Tavernier sealed a 2-1 comeback victory by Middlesbrough on Tuesday night that extended Steve Bruce’s winless start as West Bromwich Albion manager to four games.

The 22-year-old had already provided an assist for Paddy McNair’s second-half equaliser when he arrived unmarked at the far post to fire home Boro’s 69th-minute winner.

Before Tuesday night, promotion-chasing Albion had not scored since January 22 and Bruce had only registered a point from three games since replacing Valerien Ismael at the start of February.

The Baggies’ barren scoring run was at least broken after 28 minutes at the Riverside, when Andy Carroll’s cross was only half cleared and Jayson Molumby squeezed in a deflected shot, before Chris Wilder’s side took control.
