Middlesbrough came from behind to beat West Brom 3-2 as Tony Pulis’ first return to the Hawthorns after being sacked ended in a win. Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez were the scorers for the home side, while George Saville’s strike and a brace from Britt Assombalonga were enough for the Teessiders to get past the Baggies.
In the 17th minute, Saville got a chance and he put the ball into the bottom corner to give the visitors a vital lead. Rodriguez equalised three minutes before half-time when a Rekeen Harper shot wasn’t well cleared. The striker was on hand to make it 1-1.
Eighteen minutes into the second half, Gayle put the home side ahead with the deflected shot, and it looked like the tide had turned in favour of Darren Moore’s men.
However, substitute Assombalonga, who came on two minutes after West Brom took the lead, netted the equaliser for Boro in the 75th minute with a clinical low strike to beat Sam Johnstone.
Assombalonga was around when Chris Brunt cleared the ball falsely. The striker then had an easy enough chance to score seven minutes from time to give his side a lead at a difficult venue.
Middlesbrough managed to see off the game amidst late pressure from West Brom. Pulis’ men are now on 50 points, same as the Baggies, and seven behind the top two. The battle for promotion places is getting intense week after week, and Boro managed to hold their nerve today to beat one of their direct rivals.
