Boro puts past Luton to pile pressure on Edwards
Middlesbrough moved into the EFL Championship play-off spots, brushing aside struggling Luton Town 5-1 to add to the pressure on its manager Rob Edwards.
Delano Burgzorg netted his first two Championship goals for Boro, opening the scoring with a well-worked corner in the 30th minute before Emmanuel Latte Lath skilfully added a second before the break.
Finn Azaz set up the second and added a third just six minutes into the second half, before Burgzorg's second put the game beyond the visitors in the 54th minute.
Jordan Clark's strike was nothing more than a consolation as Luton's misery was further compounded by Azaz's stunning curling finish with three minutes left.
Other results meant Middlesbrough kept its place in the top six going into the international break, but Luton is 20th after registering an eighth loss since returning to the second tier.
Elsewhere, Ben Gibson salvaged a point for Stoke City against Millwall, ending its four-match winning run.
Josh Coburn had given Millwall the lead from very close range shortly before the break, netting with their first shot on target, but Stoke fought back thanks to Gibson's flicked header from a corner.
The Potters are up to 11th for now, while Millwall leapfrogged West Bromwich Albion into seventh ahead of the Baggies' trip to Hull City on Monday (AEDT).
