Millwall have regained their spot in the Championship's automatic promotion places after securing a late 1-1 draw against already-relegated Leicester. Substitute Macaulay Langstaff scored his first goal since February, canceling out Harry Souttar's opener for the Foxes, who had taken the lead in the 78th minute. The draw moves Millwall up to second place, a point ahead of Ipswich, but the latter now has two games in hand.
Ipswich will play West Brom on Saturday and Southampton on Tuesday, and Millwall must wait to see if they can maintain their promotion hopes when they host Oxford next Saturday. The match saw several close calls, including a missed opportunity by Abdul Fatawu and a blocked shot by Hamza Choudhury, before Souttar broke the deadlock. Millwall responded through Langstaff's late goal, which keeps their automatic promotion aspirations alive. Millwall captain Jake Cooper was booked for a late challenge, while Leicester's Choudhury also received a yellow card.
The result leaves Millwall with 80 points, and they will need to win their final game to keep their promotion hopes alive, as Ipswich have two games in hand and will look to capitalize on their advantage.
