In a pivotal Championship match, Millwall secured a 1-0 victory over Leicester City, delivering a significant blow to Leicester's promotion aspirations. The only goal of the game came from a stunning strike by Longman, following a mistake by Faes who lost the ball just inside the Millwall half, leading to a counterattack. This goal was highlighted as a potential candidate for Millwall's goal of the season. Despite a late effort from Iheanacho, which Millwall's defense managed to clear off the line with just 4 mins to go, Leicester could not find an equalizer. This defeat has been described as Leicester City's most disappointing display of the season, especially following the high of their previous match, and it puts their position at the top of the Championship at risk, with Leeds moving up to second place after their draw against Sunderland.

FT 1-0 Millwall and a huge blow to #LCFC's promotion hopes. It really is boom or bust with City at the moment. After the euphoria of Saturday this was arguably their most disappointing display of the season.
Millwall defence head an Iheanacho effort off the line. That was just as important as the goal. 4 mins to go #LCFC

GOAL 1-0 Millwall and it is a screamer. Faes lost the ball just inside the Millwall half and they broke. Longman still had a lot to do on the edge of the box but he gave Hermansen no chance. I bet that will be up there in the Millwall goal of the season list. #LCFC
