Peterborough United looked like they could snatch a draw against Middlesbrough on Saturday as the tie remained goalless with five minutes remaining.
However, Paddy McNair was gifted a penalty in the 85th minute thanks to a shirt pull, before Josh Coburn doubled Middlesbrough’s lead in injury time.
The defeat is Posh’s sixth on the road and leaves them 23rd in the Championship with eight points – but only one from safety.
Darren Ferguson’s side have claimed only two wins so far this season against Birmingham City and Derby County, however they will be hoping they can make it three as they face fellow promoted side Hull City on Wednesday evening – who also find themselves towards the foot of the table.
Here are the best of today’s Championship transfer rumours...
5. Former Blades striker could hand Sheffield United cash boost
Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who the Toffees value at around £50 million.
