Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readBBC Final Score pundit Aaron McLean looks at the weekend's talking points in the EFL, including Middlesbrough and West Ham United.
From the source
Former Peterborough United and Hull City striker - and Final Score pundit - Aaron McLean gives his five takeaways following Saturday's action as things start to heat up across the Championship, League One and League Two.
It is happy days for Middlesbrough and Will Lankshear as they sit two points clear at the top of the Championship following their 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic, with two more goals from Lankshear taking his tally to 13 in 13 league games since his £20m summer move from Tottenham.
McLean: "Before a ball was kicked this season, I said Will Lankshear would be an England international in the next few years. I watched him at Oxford last season and I loved the way he played and the way he scored goals in a struggling team.
