    Emmanuel Latte Lath has now scored five goals in his last three matches for Middlesbrough.

    Middlesbrough scored six goals in an away league game for the first time since October 1960 after thumping Oxford United on Saturday.

    A hat-trick from Emmanuel Latte Lath, two goals from Finn Azaz and another from substitute Tommy Conway saw a rampant Boro climb into the Championship play-off positions.

    Boro racked up 16 shots in total, 12 of which were on target.

    The win also means Boro have scored 15 goals in their last three league games following their 4-1 win at QPR and 5-1 victory over Luton Town before the international break.

    Incredibly, the last time Boro scored six on the road they failed to win in a 6-6 draw at Charlton Athletic which featured a hat-trick from the late Brian Clough.

    That match became the joint-highest score draw in English league football alongside Arsenal's 6-6 draw with Leicester City in April 1930.

  2. Morris loss a blow to Boro - Carrickpublished at 17:01 21 November 2024

    Michael Carrick admits the loss of midfielder Aidan Morris for "a number of weeks" is a blow for Middlesbrough.

    The 23-year-old USA international suffered a twisted knee in training with his country ahead of their Concacaf Nations League quarter-final against Jamaica.

    Morris had played all 21 matches for club and country since the start of the season, having appeared in 22 more for previous club Columbus Crew between February and June.

    Carrick has given his blessing for Morris to remain in the US before linking up with the Boro squad next week.

    "We’ve given him an extra little bit of time off because it’s the right thing to do - he’s played a lot of football," Carrick said before his side head to Oxford United in the Championship on Saturday.

    "He’ll be back with us next week. It’s a blow, it’s disappointing, but it's part of the game and hopefully he won’t be too long. He’ll come back strong, fit and fresh."

    Carrick said he would "have to wait and see" on the fitness of Morris' midfield-partner Hayden Hackney, who is nursing an ankle problem.

    "We’re hopeful, we're not giving up on him," Carrick said, with reference to Saturday.

    Left-back Lukas Engel and centre-back Rav van den Berg have resumed light training after injury but remain absent, having missed 12 and three games respectively.
