Blackpool 2 – 3 Millwall
Blackpool became the first team to be relegated from the Sky Bet Championship this season despite equalising twice in a thrilling 3-2 defeat to play-off-chasing Millwall.
Tom Bradshaw scored either side of a Jerry Yates penalty to put Millwall in control with half an hour to play, but Lewis Fiorini pulled a stunner out of the bag to give the plucky Seasiders fresh hope.

But Fiorini went from zero to hero in a matter of minutes, as he lunged in on Duncan Watmore in the box, conceding a penalty, which Zian Flemming converted to win the game for the Lions.
While Blackpool’s fate is sealed ahead of the final day of the season next weekend, Millwall climb back into the play-off places and up to fifth ahead of the remainder of this weekend’s action.
