Middlesbrough 2-1 Plymouth Argyle – Tommy Conway clinches win with stoppage-time penalty kick

Tommy Conway scored a 93rd-minute penalty as Middlesbrough maintained their Championships play-off hopes against bottom side Plymouth Argyle.

But Conway’s spot-kick, awarded after he was pushed over by Joe Edwards, for which the Argyle captain was sent off, nudges the Devon club closer to relegation.

Miron Muslic’s side remain three points adrift of Derby County in 21st but with a far inferior goal difference and only three matches remaining.

For Boro, with Bristol City and Coventry City both winning, the victory was vital as they moved up to seventh, but still three points behind the Sky Blues.

Ex-Argyle loanee Finn Azaz had put Middlesbrough in front early on before Mustapha Bundu equalised five minutes later, and both sides had chances to win it before Conway’s 13th goal of the season settled it in Boro’s favour.
