Lankshear scores again as Middlesbrough mark 150th anniversary with win

Middlesbrough marked their 150th anniversary with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Wolves at the Riverside Stadium, capping off a weekend of celebrations that included a Legacy Game featuring former players. The win came courtesy of Will Lankshear, whose powerful second-half header from Tommy Conway’s cross sealed the result in front of a sold-out crowd.

The goal marked Lankshear’s ninth of the season and lifted Boro into second place in the Sky Bet Championship, two points behind leaders Swansea and ahead of West Ham. Wolves, meanwhile, suffered their second league defeat since their relegation last term, struggling to contain Boro’s early dominance and failing to capitalize on limited chances in front of goal.

The atmosphere was electric, with fans in the South Stand displaying a mural honoring the club’s founding members, while the current squad delivered a spirited performance to honor their heritage.
