Outstanding performance
Millwall•AttackerMillwall executed a stunning late comeback to defeat Middlesbrough 2-1 at the Riverside, with Josh Coburn delivering a devastating double after the hour mark. Despite dominating proceedings with 61% possession, 32 shots, and 17 corners, Middlesbrough were left to rue their wastefulness in front of goal, missing three big chances while creating 67 dangerous attacks. Dael Fry's first-half header from a corner had given the hosts a deserved lead, but Millwall showed remarkable resilience to strike twice from their limited opportunities. The Lions' clinical efficiency proved decisive - converting two of their five shots on target while Middlesbrough's dominance counted for nothing in a result that epitomizes Championship football's unpredictable nature.
