Boro see off Sheff Wed to return to winning ways

Morgan Whittaker's 12th goal of the season cemented Middlesbrough's place in the Sky Bet Championship play-offs as they edged past Sheffield Wednesday to end their eight-game wait for a victory.

Kim Hellberg's men closed to within three points of the automatic promotion places courtesy of a prosaic 1-0 win over already relegated Wednesday at the Riverside Stadium, but more importantly went six clear of seventh-placed Hull with just two games to play.
