Substitute Macaulay Langstaff scored his first goal since February to earn Millwall a dramatic 1-1 draw at already-relegated Leicester City, moving Alex Neil's side back into the Championship's automatic promotion places.
Harry Souttar had opened the scoring for the Foxes in the 78th minute, heading home Luke Thomas's cross on his first appearance since rupturing an achilles 16 months ago. But Langstaff levelled in the final minute, lashing Ryan Leonard's flick past Jakub Stolarczyk to snatch a point that lifts Millwall to second, one point ahead of Ipswich Town, who have two games in hand.
Leicester fans protest against hierarchy
Leicester supporters made their feelings clear during the match, unfurling banners attacking the club's hierarchy and flying a plane overhead with the message “King Power Out”. The hosts' relegation was confirmed on Tuesday, and their frustration was evident.
Abdul Fatawu sliced an early chance wide for Leicester, while Hamza Choudhury prevented Josh Coburn from scoring for Millwall, inadvertently injuring the forward in the process. Coburn was replaced by Mihailo Ivanovic in the 10th minute.
Millwall applied pressure in the first half, with Casper De Norre and Camiel Neghli having shots blocked, and Ryan Leonard finding the side-netting. Harry Winks scuffed a reply wide for Leicester before Ivanovic required treatment after an accidental elbow from Souttar.
Second-half action
Jakub Stolarczyk made his first save five minutes into the second half, denying Neghli and then blocking Ivanovic's close-range effort. Millwall captain Jake Cooper was booked for a late challenge on Fatawu, which home fans thought warranted a red card.
Stolarczyk produced an even better stop just before the hour mark, tipping over Thierno Ballo's powerful header. Choudhury was booked for a robust challenge on Mazou-Sacko before Neghli flashed a pass across the Leicester goal.
Home substitutes Louis Page and Jeremy Monga had efforts deflected before Souttar broke the deadlock. The Australia defender bundled home Thomas's cross despite the efforts of goalkeeper Anthony Patterson and two defenders.
Millwall needed a response, and Langstaff provided it in the final minute. Leonard's flick found the forward in space, and he lashed the ball past Stolarczyk to earn a point that could prove crucial in the promotion race.
Ipswich play at West Brom on Saturday and Southampton on Tuesday, meaning Millwall must hope automatic promotion remains possible when they finish their season at home to Oxford next Saturday.
