Sunderland into Championship play-offs after Millwall collapse

The Hindu  

Sunderland secured its place in English football’s Championship play-offs with a 3-0 win away to Preston on Monday, but only after Millwall suffered an extraordinary loss at home to Blackburn Rovers. The final day of the regular second-tier season kicked off with Millwall knowing a win would guarantee its place in the play-offs that decide the last available spot on offer in next term’s lucrative Premier League. That was something we needed to do better.” He added: “In some ways, I’d have taken losing 1-0 more easily than losing 4-3 from 3-1 up as it feels like we’ve let it slip through our fingers.” Sunderland’s win at Preston meant the northeast side took sixth place, with Blackburn leapfrogging Millwall, only to be denied a play-off position of their own on goal difference. Burnley won 3-0 at home to Cardiff, with Josh Brownhill, Ashley Barnes and Scott Twine all scoring at Turf Moor as Vincent Kompany’s team finished with 101 points, while Sheffield United won 2-1 at Birmingham.
