Norwich Sink Millwall as Ipswich Seize Second in Tightening Promotion Race

Impact substitutes decided key Easter fixtures, showing how small margins now steer the Championship’s final stretch.

Overview

  • Norwich won 2-1 at Millwall as substitute Oscar Schwartau struck in the 76th minute after Mihailo Ivanovic’s opener and Pelle Mattsson’s long‑range equaliser.
  • Ipswich beat Birmingham 2-1 at Portman Road to move into second place with games in hand over Millwall and Middlesbrough.
  • The setback pushed Millwall out of the top two in a league where only first and second go straight up to the Premier League.
  • Norwich’s seven wins in their last nine away league matches are keeping their slim play-off hopes alive.
  • Lincoln City secured promotion from League One and will return to the second tier for the first time in 65 years.
