Middlesbrough Secures 3-1 Victory Over West Brom with Lankshear's Two Goals

Middlesbrough achieved a 3-1 victory against West Bromwich Albion in a Sky Bet Championship match at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday. Will Lankshear scored two goals, while Alfie Jones contributed a third, continuing Boro's strong start to the season.

Lankshear's first goal came shortly after the second half began, following a controversial rebound off West Brom's goalkeeper Max O'Leary. West Brom equalized in the 65th minute with a header from Jimmy-Jay Morgan, but Middlesbrough quickly regained the lead through Lankshear again. Jones sealed the win with a goal in the final minutes.

The match was preceded by a minute's applause for two police officers who recently lost their lives in the line of duty. Middlesbrough's victory marked their second home win in the Championship, following a successful week that included a Carabao Cup win.
