Key Takeaways
- Macaulay Langstaff netted in the 90th minute to earn Millwall a 1-1 draw at Leicester.
- The point lifts Millwall above Ipswich into second, although Ipswich still have two games in hand.
- Leicester fans protested against the club’s owners, flying a “King Power Out” banner over the stadium.
Millwall climbed back into the Championship’s top-two automatic promotion spots after substitute Macaulay Langstaff smashed home a last-gasp equaliser at relegated Leicester.
The visitors looked set for defeat when Australia defender Harry Souttar, playing his first match since an Achilles injury 16 months ago, bundled in Luke Thomas’ cross with 12 minutes left. Langstaff, on for the injured Josh Coburn, had other ideas, lashing past goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk in the final minute to rescue a priceless point.
Leicester supporters made their anger clear before kick-off, hiring a plane to drag a banner reading “King Power Out” above the King Power Stadium. The Foxes, condemned to League One on Tuesday, started brightly as Abdul Fatawu dragged an early chance wide and Hamza Choudhury produced a superb last-ditch block to deny Coburn.
Coburn’s collision with Choudhury forced the Millwall striker off in the tenth minute. Mihailo Ivanovic replaced him and was soon nursing a bloody nose after an accidental elbow from Souttar.
Millwall controlled long spells: Ryan Leonard struck the side-netting, Thierno Ballo saw a powerful header tipped over, and Camiel Neghli fizzed a low ball across the six-yard box with no takers. Leicester rarely threatened until Souttar’s close-range finish seemed to seal a morale-boosting win.
Yet Alex Neil’s side refused to yield. Leonard flicked on a long throw, Langstaff swivelled and fired low into the corner, sending the travelling fans wild and keeping Millwall’s Premier League dream alive heading into next Saturday’s final-day clash with Oxford United.
