The Championship witnessed significant developments over the weekend, with Ipswich gaining control of the promotion race. Millwall, who had been in second place, faced a setback after losing to Norwich. Middlesbrough also stumbled, drawing with Swansea after conceding two penalties.
Ipswich, on the other hand, demonstrated their resilience by coming from behind to defeat Birmingham 2-1. The Tractor Boys now have a significant advantage in the promotion battle, with a superior goal difference and two games in hand. Meanwhile, Leicester's struggles continued as they failed to win against Sheffield Wednesday, leaving them in a precarious position.
With five games remaining, the Foxes must regroup to avoid consecutive relegations. Elsewhere, Portsmouth secured a crucial point against Oxford, while Derby kept their play-off hopes alive with a win over Stoke.
