EFL Insights: Lankshear Shines for Middlesbrough, West Ham Struggles Continue

Aaron McLean provided insights on the recent EFL matches, focusing on Middlesbrough's success and West Ham's difficulties. Middlesbrough secured a 3-0 victory over Charlton Athletic, with Will Lankshear scoring twice, bringing his total to 13 goals in 13 league games since joining from Tottenham for £20 million.

West Ham faced another setback at home, losing 3-0 to West Bromwich Albion, marking their third home defeat this season. McLean noted that the team struggles to perform under pressure, particularly in front of their fans, which has raised questions about their ability to defend against early goals.

In other matches, Southampton achieved a strong 4-1 win over QPR, placing them fifth in the Championship. McLean praised the team's resilience following a points deduction at the season's start. Luton Town also enjoyed a four-match winning streak in League One, positioning themselves for a potential promotion challenge.

Fleetwood Town bounced back from their Carabao Cup success against Arsenal with a 3-1 win over Bristol Rovers, crucial for their League Two campaign.
