Ipswich's character was on full display as they fought back from two deficits to earn a crucial point against Middlesbrough, potentially a season-defining moment. With the pressure mounting after Millwall's win, Kieran McKenna's side showed resilience to stay in the top two, with an automatic promotion spot now within their grasp over the final four games. Jack Clarke's contentious penalty was more than just a goal - it demonstrated Ipswich's ability to bounce back when it matters most.
Meanwhile, Southampton's relentless form continued with a seventh consecutive league victory, leaving them on the cusp of a play-off spot and potentially causing team selection headaches ahead of their FA Cup semi-final. Elsewhere, Hull's struggles persisted as they dropped points from a winning position, while Wrexham and Derby capitalized to keep the battle for the final play-off spot intense. Leicester's woes deepened with a limp defeat at Portsmouth, leaving them on the brink of relegation and grappling with a lack of confidence and conviction.
