West Bromwich Albion 2-0 Middlesbrough: Daryl Dike double beats Boro to end bad Baggies run

Daryl Dike scored his first goals in over a month as West Bromwich Albion won 2-0 to end automatic Championship promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough's five-match winning run.

The USA international struck twice in quick succession to give a much-needed boost to Albion's own promotion hopes after a run of just one win in six league and cup matches.

John Swift and Jed Wallace combined to set up the eighth-minute opener for Dike, who nudged home from close range for his first goal in seven games.

His next one took just another couple of minutes as Chuba Akpom lost possession and Swift and Wallace were again the supply line for Dike to repeat the dose.
