Chuba Akpom scored in back-to-back Championship games with Middlesbrough claiming a 2-0 win over Barnsley, which was their first win since Boxing Day last year.
The 24-year-old Anglo-Nigerian, who is a new arrival at the Riverside from PAOK Thessaloniki, found the back of the net in Boro’s draw with Queens Park Rangers last week.
The Teeside outfit had previously lost to Watford on the opening day of the season, before being held at home by Bournemouth in the next game.
The first half was heading for a draw in Saturday’s clash until Jonathan Howson put them in front in added time.
