"Their dominance was rewarded in the 20th minute through David Strelec, who diverted Morgan Whittaker's goal-bound shot into the net after a scramble in the penalty area. Though Middlesbrough were unable to add to their tally before the break, two goals in the space of four second-half minutes put the game beyond QPR by the 72nd minute."
"After collecting the ball from Tommy Conway, Hackney took a touch before bending a delicious effort into the right corner, which kissed the post on its way past Joe Walsh. Conway got himself on the scoresheet in the 88th minute from the penalty spot, coolly dispatching after he was fouled by Tylon Smith."
"Hackney was the subject of transfer speculation in the January window, with Nottingham Forest reportedly interested in the midfielder, and his display here showcased the reason many Premier League sides have a watchful eye on the Middlesbrough captain. Along with his stunning finish, Hackney ended the match with a team-high total of chances created (two) and shots (three)."
