Alex Neil, the former Stoke manager, led Millwall to a 3-1 victory at the bet365 Stadium, ensuring a Championship play-off spot and retaking the second position. Camiel Neghli scored the opening goal in the first half, followed by Femi Azeez's ninth goal of the season in the 55th minute. Although Stoke narrowed the gap with an own goal by Caleb Taylor, Josh Coburn sealed the win with a 69th-minute strike. Millwall now sits three points above third-placed Ipswich, while Stoke's fading season continues with only two wins in their last 10 games.
The Potters had given first starts to academy players Pijus Otegbayo and Syd Agina, but it was Millwall who capitalized on their chances, with Neghli and Coburn leading the charge. The win marks a significant achievement for Millwall, who have now guaranteed a play-off position and will look to build on this momentum in their remaining games.
