Standout star propels Middlesbrough against Preston

Tommy Conway doubled the lead in the 28th minute with a precise finish, as Middlesbrough beat Preston North End 4-0.

The forward timed his run onto Luke Ayling's through ball and drove a low strike from outside the box (28.).

After the restart, Preston's Jordan Storey was sent off (50.), and Conway capitalised soon after, turning in from close range following a set piece (54.).

He finished with two attempts, both on target, and won possession four times in 61 minutes, adding one key pass and four touches in the box. That sharp contribution kept Boro on the front foot.

Boro remain second on 55 points. They host Norwich next, while Preston visit Ipswich.
