Middlesbrough retained their place in the top six, with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Sunday afternoon. 

Britt Assombalonga scored the only goal of the game, as he turned in Ashley Fletcher's effort into the net to give Boro a vital three points.

The forward was deployed up-front in an attacking duo with Ashley Fletcher which will be surprising to see, given that Tony Pulis often favours playing a lone striker.

But his bold selection call paid off, with Assombalonga scoring the only goal of the game, and both he and Fletcher looked dangerous throughout the game at the weekend.

The former Nottingham Forest striker was keen to praise his partnership with Fletcher, in a post on his
