Watch Middlesbrough go top of the Championship after scoring from the ultimate goalmouth scramble

They all count.

Middlesbrough are back at the top of the Championship table and in pole position to return to the top flight after beating Reading 2-1 at the Riverside Stadium. But Aitor Karanka's men needed a very late (and very scrappy) goal from substitute Adam Forshaw to get the better of the Royals. While the live play-by-play might describe Forshaw's goal as a tidy finish into the bottom corner, such a description doesn't even begin to do justice to what happened before the former Everton man struck. To call this goalmouth scramble 'messy' or 'slapstick' would be an insult to Laurel and Hardy, who come across as bastions of organisation in comparison to what happens here. https://twitter.com/hemps23/status/719990799463792643
