Leeds United win the Championship
The final whistle blows at Plymouth, where Leeds have secured three points and thereby pipped Burnley to the title on goal difference.
Below them there’s a pitch invasion at Bristol City, where the home side came back from two down to draw 2-2 with Preston, and with neither Blackburn (who drew 1-1 at Sheffield United) or Millwall (who lost 3-1 at Burnley) getting three points, they join Coventry, Sunderland and Sheffield United in the playoffs!
Luton Town relegated to League One
Luton, needing at least a point, playing a West Brom side with one win in nine and nothing but pride to play for, have lost 5-3. Hull City got a point at Portsmouth to send them spinning through ye olde relegatione trapdoor.
Just minutes left in the Championship season, and Rob Smyth is watching things play out:
