CLOUGH JUSTICE

NIGEL CLOUGH felt a sense of injustice when rock-bottom Burton let in a last-gasp equaliser.

Britt Assombalonga lifted Middlesbrough play-off hopes by bundling in after fellow sub Jack Harrison’s lob hit the bar. “With the timing and the nature of the goal, it feels terribly unjust,” said Brewers boss Clough.

“We needed three points and it felt extremely harsh on us.”

Marvin Sordell had put Albion ahead in the sixth minute, but they are still five points from safety .
