Middlesbrough beat Millwall 3-0 away, securing back-to-back league wins for the first time in 31 years.

Boro prove resilience with 3-0 win at Millwall

Middlesbrough beat Millwall 3-0 at the Den, a result that marks a strong start to the season. Hayden Hackney opened the scoring after the break, then Alfie Jones added a second and Delano Burgzorg finished off stoppage time to seal the win. Boro made five changes from midweek as Hansen came off the bench to influence the game and Kante started in his first league match. Millwall pressed aggressively but could not find a reply.

Millwall created chances but found a stubborn Boro defence hard to break down. A goalline clearance kept the score tight before Boro doubled the lead and then finished strongly in stoppage time. The win follows last weekend’s victory and puts Boro in a positive mood as they head into domestic fixtures with renewed confidence.

The victory shows Boro can blend practical defence with a sharp counter punch. Hansen’s impact off the bench added fresh pace and ideas, while the back line held firm under pressure, a contrast to midweek struggles. For Millwall, the result underlines the challenge of turning home heat into goals even when the team dominates possession. This early-season performance signals a growing compatibility between squad depth and a clear tactical plan under Rob Edwards, a combination that could shape their campaign.
