Championship roundup: racist chanting mars Swansea's win at Millwall
A roundup of Championship action highlights Swansea's victory away at Millwall, a result that should have been the headline but was instead overshadowed by racist chanting from sections of the home support. The incident revives concerns about discrimination in English football's second tier and is likely to draw condemnation from clubs, the EFL, and anti-discrimination bodies. Millwall have historically faced scrutiny over fan behaviour at The Den, and this episode will add to that scrutiny. The match itself, as part of a broader Championship roundup, also featured other results across the division.

The EFL and Kick It Out will likely push for swift action, and any sanctions could affect Millwall's home environment in the short term.
