Millwall salvaged a point at Leicester, finishing 1-1 after substitute Macaulay Langstaff struck in the final minute. Harry Souttar, back after a 16‑month Achilles rupture, opened the scoring for the Foxes. Both sides battled fiercely, with Leicester already condemned to relegation, while Millwall’s captain Jake Cooper received a booking for a late challenge.

The draw lifted Alex Neil’s side into the automatic promotion spots, sitting second with 80 points, a single advantage over Ipswich. Millwall also hold two games in hand, meaning the point could prove vital as they aim to clinch promotion on the season’s final home fixture against Oxford.

Neil praised his squad’s resilience but admitted disappointment at not securing three points, noting the campaign has never been in the top two until now. Gary Rowett accepted Leicester’s fate, highlighting Souttar’s impact after a long layoff. Millwall must now keep momentum to turn the points gap into a decisive lead.
