Millwall moved back into the Championship’s automatic promotion position places but could only snatch a late 1-1 draw at already relegated Leicester.
Substitute Macaulay Langstaff’s first goal since February cancelled out a Foxes opener from Harry Souttar, who was playing his first game since rupturing an achilles 16 months ago. It moved Alex Neil’s visitors up to second, a point ahead of Ipswich who have two games in hand.
Ipswich play at West Brom on Saturday and Southampton on Tuesday, so Millwall must hope automatic promotion is still a possibility when they finish their season at home to Oxford next Saturday.
Leicester supporters unfurled banners attacking the club hierarchy, with a plane flying over bearing the message: “King Power Out”. Abdul Fatawu sliced wide an early chance for the hosts, whose relegation fate was sealed on Tuesday.
Hamza Choudhury’s intervention then stopped Josh Coburn firing Millwall in front. Choudhury nicked the ball away as Coburn prepared to shoot and the forward, having connected with the Leicester captain instead, had to be replaced by Mihailo Ivanovic in the 10th minute.
