Heartbreak at the Hawthorns as Ramsay off to losing start

DELANO Burgzorg climbed off the bench to help Middlesbrough snatch a dramatic 3-2 victory over West Brom in Eric Ramsay's first game in charge at The Hawthorns.

It looked like Ramsay would take a point away from his first game after his new side fought back from two goals down but Burgzorg’s late strike consigned the Baggies to their 14th league defeat of the season - only bottom club Sheffield Wednesday have lost more.

Middlesbrough made their first-half possession count when Alex Gilbert’s strike bounced off the post and forced Charlie Taylor to put into his own goal, before Sam Silvera doubled his season account in the second half.

It took West Brom going two goals down for them to awaken. An Isaac Price free-kick halved the deficit and within minutes Jed Wallace climbed off the bench to strike an equaliser - only for Burgzorg to grab the points back for Boro.

A change in head coach could not halt the Baggies’ misfortune as Kim Hellberg’s Middlesbrough moved to within three points of league leaders Coventry.
