Middlesbrough made it four wins from four in the Championship as they defeated rock-bottom Sheffield United 1-0. A well-contested first half, which was limited in clear-cut chances, saw the sides go into the interval goalless. But Boro asserted themselves after the restart and, in the 64th minute, Tommy Conway guided the ball home after he was picked out by a pinpoint Matt Targett through-ball.
Elsewhere, West Brom scuppered the chance of Stoke City joining Boro on maximum points after Potters' goalkeeper Viktor Johansson fumbled the ball from a corner, allowing Nat Phillips to prod into the back of the net in the 14th minute. The Swedish goalkeeper's mistake proved to be the game's decisive moment, as Ryan Mason's positive start as Albion's boss saw them move up to second in the table, having remained unbeaten in their opening four games.
