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.

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.
