Middlesbrough v Luton Match Report
Middlesbrough produced an emphatic 5-1 victory over Luton Town at the Riverside, demonstrating a clinical edge that had been lacking for much of the season. Despite a lower-than-usual conversion rate compared to their xG earlier this season, Boro’s finishing was razor-sharp in this fixture, with Denzell Burgzorg, Emmanuel Latte Lath, and Finn Azaz leading the charge. Luton, struggling in the relegation zone, found it hard to keep up with Middlesbrough’s pace and creativity, particularly in the first half, as they fell behind early and could not recover.
The hosts opened with high pressure and seized a two-goal lead before the interval. Burgzorg’s opener was soon followed by Latte Lath’s strike, both assisted by the ever-influential Ben Doak and Finn Azaz. Although Luton managed a late consolation goal from Jordan Clark, Azaz capped off the night with his second, putting an exclamation point on an impressive performance by Carrick's men.
