Championship roundup: Millwall into 2nd, Leicester closer to relegation
Millwall edged ahead of Ipswich in the battle to join Coventry in the Premier League next season as Leicester's 1-0 defeat to Portsmouth pushed the Foxes towards the third tier on Saturday.
Frank Lampard's Coventry ended their 25-year wait to return to the Premier League with a 1-1 draw at Blackburn on Friday.
Derek Mazou-Sacko and Camiel Neghli struck as Millwall revitalised their push to reach the top flight for the first time in the Premier League era with a 2-0 win over Queens Park Rangers at The Den.
Alex Neil's side move one point above Ipswich, who have two games in hand, starting at fifth-placed Middlesbrough on Sunday.
"I thought today we certainly got that monkey off our back," said Neil after just one win in Millwall's previous five games.
"I thought we attacked it, I thought we were aggressive."
Southampton maintained their charge towards the automatic promotion places as Cameron Archer scored a late winner to beat Swansea 2-1.
The Saints came from behind to stretch their unbeaten run to 19 games ahead of next weekend's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.
Tonda Eckert's men move level on points with Ipswich, who they have still to play in their final three games of the league season.
Leicester's lack of quality
At the bottom of the table, Leicester's demise since winning the Premier League 10 years ago shows no sign of stopping.
Portsmouth all but secured their Championship status thanks to Ibane Bowat's second-half goal.
Leicester were docked six points this season for breaching financial rules in previous campaigns.
But even without that punishment, they would now sit in the bottom three and back-to-back relegations could be confirmed on Tuesday.
"I think a lack of fight is something that's been labelled at the team over the course of a season. I don't know whether that's fair but I think we showed a lack of quality," said Leicester boss Gary Rowett.
"I thought we showed a lack of toughness to do the basics in the one moment where we concede from a set-piece."
West Brom's 2-0 win at Preston means that Leicester are now eight points adrift of safety with just nine left to play for.
Wrexham's bid for a historic fourth consecutive promotion is back on track after they beat Stoke 2-0 and Hull were held 1-1 by Birmingham.
The Welsh side, co-owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, cut the gap on the play-off places to two points.
Derby also kept their play-off hopes alive with a 1-0 win over Oxford.
