Ghana winger Albert Adomah sparked victory for Middlesbrough by heading home the opener in their 2-0 win over Fulham in the English Championship on Saturday afternoon.

The 28-year-old winger rose above his Fulham marker to head home the opening goal with Jose Mourinho watching from the stands at the Craven Cottage.

Boro had the perfect start after just three minutes - Stewart Downing found space on the left to cross into Albert Adomah who was left alone in the area, for him to head home his seventh goal of the season.

Adomah turned the architect in the 68th minute when he played through Steward Downing but the English man missed narrowly.
