Hamza's Leicester sink towards relegation

Millwall edged ahead of Ipswich in the battle to join Coventry in the Premier League next season as Leicester's 1-0 defeat to Portsmouth pushed the Foxes towards the third tier on Saturday.

Frank Lampard's Coventry ended their 25-year wait to return to the Premier League with a 1-1 draw at Blackburn on Friday.

Derek Mazou-Sacko and Camiel Neghli struck as Millwall revitalised their push to reach the top flight for the first time in the Premier League era with a 2-0 win at The Den.

Alex Neil's side move one point above Ipswich, who have two games in hand, starting at fifth-placed Middlesbrough on Sunday.

At the bottom of the table, Leicester's demise since winning the Premier League 10 years ago shows no sign of stopping.

Portsmouth all but secured their Championship status thanks to Ibane Bowat's second-half goal.

Leicester were docked six points this season for breaching financial rules in previous campaigns.

But even without that punishment, they would now sit in the bottom three and back-to-back relegations could be confirmed on Tuesday.

Leicester's Bangladeshi star Hamza Choudhury was subbed off in the second half, with Portsmouth fans booing him as he walked off. Hamza, in reply, hurled some words back as he walked off, forcing the referee to produce a yellow card.

"I think a lack of fight is something that's been labelled at the team over the course of a season. I don't know whether that's fair but I think we showed a lack of quality," said Leicester boss Gary Rowett.

"I thought we showed a lack of toughness to do the basics in the one moment where we concede from a set-piece."
