Football League: Pulis celebrates West Brom victory, Bruce gets maiden win
- Vokes misses debut penalty, Brentford crush Blackburn
- Collins keeps Luton on course, Akinde miss denies Lincoln
Substitute Britt Assombalonga’s double gave Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis a dramatic victory over former club West Brom. Boro took an early lead with a George Saville strike before Jay Rodriguez levelled matters with close-range toe poke just before half-time. The Baggies took the lead through a deflected strike from Dwight Gayle before Assombalonga’s low finish grabbed an equaliser before Chris Brunt’s mistake gifted the Congolese striker the 83rd minute winner.
Steve Bruce took charge of Sheffield Wednesday for the first time as his new team travelled to bottom club Ipswich, and they struggled to find a goal despite piling on heavy pressure. It took Lucas João, in the final minute of normal time, to find the winner.
