Middlesbrough fight back to hold Millwall in Championship

Middlesbrough staged a remarkable comeback to secure a 2-2 draw against Millwall in the Championship, while Lincoln emerged victorious with a 1-0 win over Bristol City on Tuesday. Kim Hellberg's side dominated possession, but faced a daunting two-goal deficit at the Riverside Stadium, conceding goals from Tairyk Arconte and Lyndon Dykes in the first half.

Arconte scored off the post in the 11th minute, followed by Dykes' finish from Caleb Taylor's pass in the 36th minute. However, Middlesbrough showed resilience after half-time, with Amario Cozier-Duberry netting his second goal since joining on loan from Brighton with a deflected effort in the 50th minute. Will Lankshear, signed from Tottenham, added a crucial goal with a headed effort in the 61st minute, lifting Middlesbrough to third place behind West Ham and Swansea on goal difference.

At Ashton Gate, Lincoln claimed a crucial 1-0 win over former club Bristol City. Lincoln's manager, Michael Skubala, rekindled his rivalry with Lincoln after leading the Imps to promotion from League One last season. Ben House's interception of Rob Dickie's back-pass in the 53rd minute set up Freddie Draper to score unopposed, lifting Lincoln to eighth place in their first season in the second tier for 65 years.
