Middlesbrough 2-0 Millwall: Boro secure play-off spot to all but end Lions' promotion challenge

Middlesbrough have booked their place in the Sky Bet Championship play-offs after securing a 2-0 win over Millwall.

Goals from Britt Assombalonga and Jonny Howson secured the win for Boro who all but ended the London side's hopes of getting into the play-offs.

Boro have booked their play-off place with a game to spare, although the identity of their opponents will not be clear until they have completed their campaign at Ipswich next weekend.

Millwall still have a statistical chance of claiming a play-off place, although in reality their hopes are gone as they would need a nine-goal swing to overhaul Derby on goal difference even if they were to win their final game against Aston Villa and both the Rams and Preston were to lose.
