Japhet Tanganga's goal propelled Millwall to a 1-0 victory over Leeds, lifting the Lions to fifth place in the Championship standings. The defender's strike in the 40th minute secured a fourth consecutive 1-0 win for Neil Harris's team, dealing Leeds their second loss of the season. Since Harris took charge in February, Millwall has accumulated more points than any other team in the Championship. This latest win saw them surpass Leeds' points tally from the same period. Just two weeks ago, they were fourth from the bottom when they faced Plymouth. Leeds, currently in third place, missed a chance to pressure league leaders Sunderland, who were held to a goalless draw by Preston.
In another match, goalkeeper Viktor Johansson was instrumental as Stoke defeated Blackburn 2-0. Manhoef broke the deadlock after the break, and Johansson made several outstanding saves before Tom Cannon's 85th-minute penalty sealed the victory. Stoke climbed to 14th in the table, just one point behind 10th-placed Rovers.
Jerry Yates played a pivotal role as Derby secured their first away win by defeating Coventry 2-1. Yates scored the opener in the 11th minute and his strike after the break deflected off Bobby Thomas. The Rams managed to fend off a late comeback attempt by the Sky Blues, who scored through Tatsuhiro Sakamoto. Luton moved out of the relegation zone after Jacob Brown's goal secured a 1-0 win over Cardiff.
