Since Harris took over in February, Millwall have taken more points than any other team in the Championship – with this victory seeing them overtake Leeds’s tally from the same period. They were fourth from bottom when they played Plymouth just two weeks ago. Defeat means third-placed Leeds missed the opportunity to put pressure on league leaders Sunderland, who were held to a goalless draw by Preston.
The goalkeeper Viktor Johansson starred for Stoke as they beat Blackburn 2-0.
