Millwall moved back into Championship top two with a 3-1 victory at Stoke, guaranteeing a play-off place. Camiel Neghli scored his ninth goal of the season in the first half, assisted by Tristan Crama, while Femi Azeez doubled the lead with a left-foot drive after Zak Sturge's cutback. Stoke's Caleb Taylor accidentally scored an own goal before Josh Coburn sealed the win with a 69th-minute strike, punishing defensive errors.

Stoke, now with just two wins from their last 10 games, fielded academy players Pijus Otegbayo and Syd Agina. Despite early pressure, including a 12th-minute near-goal from Robert Bozenik saved by Anthony Patterson, the Potters struggled. Patterson, making his first start since January, denied multiple chances, including a 48th-minute save from Tatsuki Seko's volley.

Alex Neil's Millwall delivered a clinical performance, with Neghli netting twice and Coburn securing his 10th goal. Neil hailed the result as the club's biggest achievement in 25 years, emphasizing their automatic promotion fight. Stoke manager Mark Robins criticized his team's inconsistency, calling the season a disappointment after unmet expectations.

The win lifts Millwall three points above third-placed Ipswich, who face Charlton on Wednesday. With two games remaining, Neil's side remains in strong contention for Championship automatic promotion, marking a historic season for the London club.
