Championship wrap: Obafemi with first goal for Millwall

Republic of Ireland international Michael Obafemi scored for Millwall as they drew 1-1 with fellow Championship strugglers Blackburn Rovers.

On-loan from Burnley, the 24-year-old scored his first goal for the club to put the visitors ahead at Ewood Park on the hour mark.

The lead however lasted 10 minutes before Sammie Szmodics - who was called up to Republic of Ireland squads during Stephen Kenny's tenure but has yet to be capped - salvaged a point after pouncing on a defensive error to fire, with Rovers now two points clear of the dropzone.

Leicester stayed three points clear at the top of the table as they ended a three-game losing run with a 1-0 victory at Sunderland on a night that saw wins for the top three sides.

The Foxes retained their advantage over Ipswich who needed a late Leif Davis goal to come from behind and beat Bristol City 3-2, while third-placed Leeds kept pace with a 1-0 win over Stoke.

Jamie Vardy's 13th goal of the season came in the 13th minute and did the trick for Leicester, with goalkeeper Mads Hermansen making a fine save to deny Trai Hume an equaliser as Sunderland fell to a fifth straight defeat.

Ipswich stayed in touch but only after a frantic second half at Portman Road.

Anis Mehmeti put the Robins in front, and although Ali Al-Hamadi equalised, City were back in front through Tommy Conway's header in the 77th minute. Conor Chaplin headed Ipswich level with 10 minutes to go before Davis got the winner.

Dan James' first-half strike ensured Leeds stayed only two points off second place.

James had already missed a couple of decent chances when his 11th goal of the season in the 33rd minute broke the deadlock.

Stoke had chances to level but finished the night with 10 men as substitute Ben Pearson was
