"Middlesbrough twice came from behind to snatch a late 2-2 draw with Preston North End and maintain their unbeaten start to the Championship season. Boro missed the chance to win their first five league games for the first time in their history, but recent signing Sontje Hansen at least ensured they did not walk away empty-handed. Lewis Dobbin gave Preston the lead after just 22 minutes, beating Luke Ayling to fire home from the edge of the box,"
"The hosts thought they had claimed a late win, with Jordan Storey heading in Preston's second with two minutes of the 90 remaining, but they could not hold on, with Hansen profiting from a goalmouth scramble just four minutes later. Boro remain top of the early standings on 13 points, but Leicester City missed the chance to stay in touch at the top after a 2-2 draw of their own."
Middlesbrough recovered twice to earn a 2-2 draw at Preston North End, with Lewis Dobbin giving Preston an early lead before Matt Targett levelled and Sontje Hansen netted a late equaliser after Jordan Storey's header had appeared to win it for the hosts. Middlesbrough sit top of the early standings on 13 points. Leicester City drew 2-2 at Oxford United despite Aaron Ramsey's first-half red card, with Jordan Ayew and Ricardo Pereira among the scorers alongside an Oxford opener and an own goal. Millwall rescued a 1-1 draw at Charlton following Sonny Carey's opener and a late Raees Bangura-Williams equaliser after Kayne Ramsay's sending-off.
