Britt Assombalonga and Ashley Fletcher scored as Middlesbrough secured a vital away victory over play-off chasing Millwall on Wednesday afternoon.

Neil Warnock's men opened the scoring on 70 minutes after Fletcher centred for Assombalonga to fire home, but Gary Rowett's players were left irate after Jake Cooper was shoved off the ball in the build-up.
