Millwall’s Championship Play-Off hopes are all but over as they drew 1-1 with fellow promotion rivals Swansea City at The Den.
Bartosz Bialkowski’s 66th minute own goal cancelled out Mason Bennett’s 21st minute opener as the Lions couldn’t make their dominance pay.
Barring their fortuitous equaliser which saw Rhian Brewster’s free-kick go in via Millwall keeper Bialkowski, Swansea offered very little in attack.
Murray Wallace had the Lions’ best chance to regain the lead in the 75th minute, heading wide from a Jed Wallace corner.
And despite concerted pressure in the dying stages, Millwall were restricted to set-piece efforts while Matt Smith also had a penalty appeal waved away late into stoppage time.
The draw leaves Millwall five points off the top six with any Play-Off push very much dependent on results elsewhere now as well as their own.

Moan of the Match
Millwall dominated for large periods but failed to create enough clear cut chances.
Talking Point
Should Ben Wilmot have seen red for a foul on Tom Bradshaw as the Lions striker was clean through on goal?

Ryan Woods – an excellent, tenacious midfield display alongside the equally impressive Shaun Williams.

Referee Watch
James Linington (Isle of Wight) – poor throughout, missing a number of obvious fouls from both sides and failed to play advantages on more than one occasion.
Atmosphere
No crowd noise was played through The Den’s speakers this time out, so eerily only the players’ conversations could be heard.
Verdict
A draw does neither side any favours and both now look unlikely to be able to reach the top six.
