• Huddersfield beat Nottingham Forest to third place
• Playoff-chasing Middlesbrough and Millwall beaten on final day

Sheffield United and Luton Town have secured places in the Championship playoffs at the expense of Middlesbrough and Millwall, the two sides who maintained hope of sneaking into the top six on the final day of the regular season.

Huddersfield, meanwhile, claimed third place with a 2-0 win against Bristol City as Nottingham Forest dramatically drew 1-1 at Hull. Brennan Johnson’s stoppage-time penalty against the Tigers appeared to have snatched third place for Forest at the last, before Keane Lewis-Potter’s equaliser two minutes later denied Steve Cooper’s side.
