Championship roundup: Millwall keep promotion push going with win against Derby
Millwall close gap on Middlesbrough to one point
Leicester out of relegation zone after beating Bristol City
Millwall rode their luck to bolster their bid for promotion with a 1-0 win against Derby. Alex Neil’s side took the lead through Josh Coburn’s goal in the 43rd minute at the Den. Barry Bannan’s free-kick was not cleared and the Millwall defender Tristan Crama hooked the ball back into the six-yard box, where Coburn glanced his header in at the far post.
That was enough to secure a fourth successive Championship victory for third-placed Millwall, as they closed the gap on second-placed Middlesbrough to one point. The Derby striker Patrick Agyemang hit the post in stoppage time after earlier missing another golden opportunity to equalise in a second half dominated by the visitors.
