EFL Championship side Middlesbrough Fc have made the announcement of their best moment in 2022 and Chuba Akpom’s moments missed on the award.
The award which was decided by fans’ votes saw Akpom’s December 10 heroics in their 2-1 win over Luton Town and his exceptional hattrrick on Boxing Day against Wigan Athletic missed out on the Boro’s best moment of 2022.
“Our 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup has been crowned the best Boro moment of 2022 following a fan vote with more than 1,000 responses.” Middlesbrough write on their website.
With the game heading into penalty should, Josh Coburn's late strike secured a memorable win in football's oldest cup competition back in March. Coburn brought into the fray as part of a double switch in the 96th minute, sent Boro through to the quarter-finals with a thumping finish.
Meanwhile the win over United came second in our best-of-2022 vote, with the appointment of Head Coach Michael Carrick was third.
