Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull City

Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull
Barry Robson strikes a late winner as Middlesbrough move into the automatic promotion places with a 1-0 win over Hull at the Riverside Stadium.

Scotland international Barry Robson scored a late winner to earn Middlesbrough a 1-0 win over Hull City and move them into the automatic promotion places.

The home side dominated the possession stats during the opening exchanges and caused problems down the right-hand side through Robson and Justin Hoyte.

However, Tony Mowbray's side failed to create many clear-cut chances in difficult conditions.

On a cold, blustery afternoon in the North East, Robson's swerving 25-yard shot flew past Peter Gulacsi in the Hull goal to secure the Teeside club victory.

Boro temporarily move into second, a point clear of West Ham ahead of the Hammers' trip to Birmingham this evening.
