Norwich Boss Unhappy with 'Handball' Goal but Albion's James Morrison 'Does Not Care'

Will Lankshear’s first league appearance for Middlesbrough produced a late winner after Lincoln led early and ended a 29-match unbeaten run.

  • On Saturday, Middlesbrough secured a 2-1 victory over Lincoln in their Championship opener, with marquee signing Will Lankshear netting a second-half double to complete the comeback.
  • Lincoln played their first second-tier match in 65 years and made a strong start, with Adam Reach opening the scoring in the 12th minute with a 15-yard shot beyond goalkeeper Radek Vitek.
  • Middlesbrough equalized in the 62nd minute when Callum Brittain's cross deflected to Leo Castledine, whose angled drive was diverted home instinctively from six yards out by Lankshear.
  • Lankshear struck in stoppage time after brilliant work from substitute Riley McGree on the right, ending Lincoln's 29-game unbeaten run across all competitions since early December.
  • Lincoln's new joint head coaches Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw faced a difficult league debut following manager Michael Skubala's departure to Bristol City in May.
