Fulham beat Middlesbrough with late Lasse Vigen Christensen winner

Lasse Vigen Christensen's extra-time goal gave Championship side Fulham a deserved 2-1 victory over Premier League Middlesbrough to reach the third round of the EFL Cup.

Fulham, who made 10 changes for the tie at Craven Cottage, had to recover from conceding a goal after only eight minutes to David Nugent.

But they fought back superbly after the break as Julien De Sart's 54th-minute own goal and Christensen's dramatic 113th-minute strike sent Slavisa Jokanovic's men through to the delight of the home crowd.

In a match which started in 32 degree heat but quickly deteriorated into rain and thunderstorms, both teams made changes from the previous weekend's league programme.
