    Chants echo around Pride Park in unison, with both Derby and Stoke supporters sing 'we are staying up' at the full-time whistle.

    The stakes were high today, but in the end an anticlimactic goalless draw keeps both sides in the Championship.

    Both Rams boss John Eustace and Robins boss Mark Robins have a lot of rebuilding to do in the summer now.

    Was that the chance for Blackburn?

    Coventry 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Boro gave it a real good go, they had to, but Coventry were too clinical when it mattered.

    Portsmouth 1-1 Hull City

    HULL CITY ARE SAFE!

    The Tigers have stayed up by the barest of margins with goal difference keeping them in the Championship at the expense of Luton.

    Burnley 3-1 Millwall

    They’ve done their bit, but that stoppage-time winner looks to have denied Burnley the title.

    A sensational season under new boss Scott Parker ends with a 14th home victory of the season thanks to goals from Jaidon Anthony and Josh Brownhill.

    They’ve gone unbeaten at Turf Moor this campaign and have brought up a century of points.

    Millwall miss out on the play-offs but they caused a few problems.

    West Brom 5-3 Luton

    It's all over and Luton Town are relegated to League One with the whistle going at Fratton Park moments later.

    The Hatters were playing Premier League football 12 months ago but it's back-to-back relegations.

    Connor Ogilvie heads over for the home side!

    That would have sent the Tigers down.

    My word!

    GOAL: Burnley 3-1 Millwallpublished at 14:24 British Summer Time 3 May

    Josh Brownhill (90+3 mins)

    It's unlikely to be enough, but Josh Brownhill wraps this game up with his 18th league goal of the season.

    His second of the afternoon comes direct from a free-kick. Brilliant season.

    These two mid-table sides end the season with a 1-1 draw.

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    An uneventful affair but a job well done for Derby and Stoke.

    The Rams are all but safe unless Hull and Luton both win, which is almost certainly not going to happen.

    Stoke will be playing Championship football next season.

    Bristol City 2-2 Preston

    SIX additional minutes at Ashton Gate.

    A goal for Blackburn at Bramall Lane would dump the Robins out of the play-offs, unless City can find another now...

    This is where you game management and match-craft is used to eat away at this six minutes.

    They'll know what's going on elsewhere, those flurry of goals in the Luton game would have relaxed them a bit.

    They'll know they're safe.
