EFL goals, round-up: Blackburn, Burnley win; Carrick’s Boro beaten

Michael Carrick suffered a miserable start to life as Middlesbrough manager with a 2-1 Sky Bet Championship defeat at Preston.

Chuba Akpom gave former England and Manchester United star Carrick a dream start with a close-range header after eight minutes.

But Emil Riis levelled before half-time and Jordan Storey struck a stoppage-time winner for the Lilywhites and leave Boro hovering just above the relegation zone.

Carlos Corberan also lost his first game as West Brom boss with Sheffield United winning 2-0 at The Hawthorns.

Iliman Ndiaye and Oli McBurnie grabbed first-half goals as the fourth-placed Blades ended a six-game winless streak.
