Championship roundup: Leicester deeper in trouble as Bowat lifts Portsmouth

• Defeat leaves Foxes five points off safety with three games left

• Oxford stay 22nd after 1-0 loss at Derby; Millwall 2-0 QPR

Ibane Bowat’s second-half goal was enough to lead Portsmouth to a vital 1-0 win at home to their relegation rivals Leicester as the Foxes plunged a huge step closer to League One. The substitute Bowat’s scruffy 63rd-minute strike from a corner earned Pompey a third straight win to leave them one win from staying up.

It is now one win in 17 for the hapless Foxes, whose demotion to the third tier 10 years after winning the Premier League could be confirmed as soon as Tuesday night, when they host Hull, dependant on any points deduction for West Brom.
