Middlesbrough 2-1 Luton Town: Matt Crooks' stoppage-time goal clinches victory

Matt Crooks' stoppage-time winner saw Middlesbrough beat 10-man Luton Town in the Championship.

A tepid encounter was brought to life when Jordan Clark fired in an impressive opener, but the lead lasted just five minutes as Chuba Akpom headed Boro level.

Tom Lockyer missed a great chance to put Luton in front just after half-time, before Akpom hit the angle of post and bar a few minutes later.

Luton had Amari'i Bell sent off for a second yellow card inside the final 20 minutes, and after a barrage of chances substitute Crooks volleyed home in the 92nd minute

The win extended Middlesbrough's unbeaten run to five matches under new boss Michael Carrick as they moved up to 12th place in the table, leapfrogging Luton, who drop to 13th.
