Ipswich and Millwall draw dents their own hopes
Ipswich Town and Millwall both missed the chance to strengthen their grips on the automatic promotion places in the EFL Championship after playing out a 1-1 draw at Portman Road.
Jack Clarke's 41st-minute strike had given Ipswich the lead, but Josh Coburn's equaliser five minutes after the restart ensured the spoils were shared.
The Tractor Boys started strongly and only a last-ditch clearance off the line by Jake Cooper denied Darnell Furlong's header, but they went even closer soon after.
Anthony Patterson produced a sensational one-handed stop to tip Ivan Azon's volley over the crossbar brilliantly before Christian Walton was called into action at the other end.
But Ipswich got ahead just before the break through Clarke, who cut inside from the left-hand side before sending an effort past Patterson at his near post.
Millwall responded almost immediately after the break, with Coburn on hand to dispatch Camiel Neghli's teasing delivery into the penalty area past Walton.
Alex Neil's Lions side had the clearest opportunity to snatch all three points late on, but substitute Mihailo Ivanovic saw his effort cannon against the crossbar from close range.
Elsewhere in the second tier, Derby County boosted its hopes of a top-six finish as Rhian Brewster netted the only goal in a 1-0 triumph over Birmingham City.
Brewster rose highest to meet Derry John Murkin's cross, with the Rams holding on for a huge three points as the race for the play-offs hots up at the business end of the season.
