CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND UP WITH TABLE

WATFORD sealed their promotion back to the Premier League after they won and Middlesbrough and Norwich both failed to win.

The Hornets done their part by winning 2-0 at Brighton who are now safe from relegation. Goals from Deeney and Vydra sealed the victory that would help secure their return to England's top flight.

Lee Gregory's hat-rick was not enough to lift Millwall out of the relegation zone after they drew 3-3 with Derby. The Lions looked set to jump out of the relegation places when they were 3-1 up after 50 minutes but a Chris Martin penalty 20 minutes before the end and a Jeff Hendrick brace sealed a point for Derby. A win for Rotherham on Tuesday night will relegate Millwall and Wigan to League One.

Brentford are also a point outside the top six after their 2-0 win at Reading.

Middlesbrough's automatic promotion hopes took a blow after they were beaten by a Ross McCormack inspired Fulham 4-3 at Craven Cottage.

Norwich's hopes of the top 2 also took a blow as they conceded a late equaliser to Rotherham who will seal their Championship safety with a victory over Reading on Tuesday night.

Ipswich need just a point on the final day to secure their place in the play-offs after they Nottingham Forest 2-1.

Huddersfield and Blackburn drew 2-2 and Birmingham beat Charlton 1-0.

Sheffield Wednesday's poor home record continued as they ended their home campaign in defeat to Leeds.

Cardiff singed off at home with a 3-2 win over basement club already relegated Blackpool.

It was Kane's 35th goal of the season and his 150th career club goal, the goal equalled his record of goals for last season as he once again looks on course for another stunning season in front of goal. His header broke the hearts of Palace who were denied a precious point in the battle against relegation. One man who will be thanking Kane for scoring will be Spurs right back Serge Aurier who had missed an open goal a few minutes prior to Kane's goal. The result saw Spurs go above Chelsea into the top four on goal difference before the Blues's trip to Manchester United. The defeat for Palace see's them remain 17th in the table outside the drop zone on goal difference. They also play Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in three of their next four fixtures. It was a tight and tense affair in the first half and Spurs were unlucky to be denied two penalties....
