Macaulay Langstaff struck a dramatic 90th‑minute equaliser as Millwall kept their automatic promotion hopes alive with a 1-1 draw against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

The Lions knew victory would ensure their push for a top-two finish went down to the final day, but they looked set for frustration when Harry Souttar headed the hosts in front late on.

The centre-back was making his first competitive appearance in 16 months after recovering from an Achilles injury.

That setback left Millwall facing the prospect of slipping below Ipswich Town on goal difference, with Kieran McKenna’s side able to move ahead on Saturday should they beat West Bromwich Albion.

However, Langstaff had the final say.

The striker reacted quickest to a flicked pass from Tristan Crama, steering home a crucial equaliser to preserve Millwall’s position in the promotion race, even if control of their top-two destiny remains out of their hands.
