MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - The final-day drama in England's second-tier Championship involved several clubs making late escapes from the threat of relegation but despite the tears of joy and pain, there may yet be a final twist to the season.

The clubs in the bottom five places in the Championship with six games remaining remarkably all survived -- Barnsley were in the relegation zone for 10 months, before getting out with one minute of the season left thanks to a late winner at third-placed Brentford.
