Jeremy Sarmiento put Middlesbrough ahead in the 12th minute, but Andri Gudjohnsen headed Blackburn level four minutes after halftime. Todd Cantwell completed the turnaround with a diving header six minutes later, giving Rovers two quick second-half goals.

Southampton struck late to beat Stoke 3-1. Cyle Larin scored his third goal in three games to give Southampton an early lead before Ethan Galbraith equalised. Divin Mubama restored the home side’s advantage late on against his former club, and Ryan Manning converted a stoppage-time penalty after Svante Ingelsson was sent off for bringing down Samuel Edozie.
